Newly elected MP and actor Kangana Ranaut was allegedly slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable at Chandigarh airport on Saturday.
The incident occurred when Ranaut, who won the Lok Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, was about to board a flight for Delhi.
The CISF constable who slapped Ranaut has been identified as Kulwinder Kaur.
After slapping Ranaut, Kaur allegedly told the actor-turned-MP that it was for "disrespecting farmers", alluding to the 15-month-long protest by farmers against the (now scrapped) farm laws and other issues.
Mobile footage shows Ranaut being escorted by a ring of security officers towards the security check-in, where she is seen talking to some CISF officers.
The CISF Commandant has taken note of the incident and is questioning Kaur, sources said.
One of Ranaut's aides has also informed the local police, sources said.
Ranaut did not speak to reporters after landing in Delhi.
Earlier today, she had posted a photo on Instagram captioned, "On my way to parliament. Mandi ki sansad."
During the election campaign, farmers had blocked Ranaut's convoy in Chandigarh while she was going towards Mandi.
