Chandigarh, July 03: Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable Kulwinder Kaur, who allegedly slapped actor-turned-politician and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport last month, has been transferred to Bengaluru, sources said on Wednesday.
Official sources said she has been reinstated and posted in Bengaluru.
The CISF constable was initially detained and later suspended after Kangana told CISF officials on her arrival at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi that she was slapped and abused by a woman constable at the Chandigarh Airport before she boarded the flight to Delhi.
“She (Kangana) made a statement that the farmers were sitting in protest for Rs 100.
My mother was sitting there and protesting when she made this statement,” Kaur had added.
