This altercation occurred just two days after Ranaut's election to the Lok Sabha from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. According to officials, the constable, apparently upset with Ranaut's stance on the farmer protests, has been suspended, and an FIR has been filed against her.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for airport security, has initiated a court of inquiry into the incident. In a video statement titled “Shocking rise in terror and violence in Punjab,” posted on X after her arrival in Delhi, the "Queen" actor assured her followers that she was safe and unharmed.
