Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, the recently elected Lok Sabha MP from Mandi, was allegedly slapped by CISF personnel at the Chandigarh airport on Thursday.
The constable has been suspended and an FIR has been registered against her, news agency PTI reported, citing officials.
Citing sources, ANI reported that a constable-ranked CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) officer allegedly slapped Kangana at the Chandigarh airport during a heated argument.
The MP-elect was slapped at the security check for pushing the security personnel after Kangana refused to put her phone in the compartment during the security check. Kangana Ranaut left for Delhi at 3 pm on a Vistara flight.
After arriving in Delhi, Kangna met CISF Director General Nina Singh and other senior officials and explained the incident to them, India Today reported.
A commission of inquiry comprising senior CISF officers has been constituted to conduct further investigations.
The BJP leader issued a statement on the incident saying that she is fine and detailing the events of the incident.

Kangana said the incident at the Chandigarh airport took place during a security check and claimed she was slapped because the CISF personnel were “supporting the farmers’ protest”.
The Bollywood actress was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh, defeating her nearest rival from the Congress by over 74,000 votes.
