A three-member special investigation team has been formed in connection with the incident in which BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut was allegedly slapped by a CISF woman constable, a senior police officer said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, several farmer outfits, including the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, took out a march in Mohali in support of CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur.
Farmer leaders demanded that a fair investigation should be conducted into the matter while asserting that there should not be any injustice with the woman constable. They also handed over a memorandum to Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sandeep Garg, seeking an impartial investigation into the incident.

Mohali Superintendent of Police Harbir Singh Atwal said that a three-member SIT has been formed under his leadership.

“There will be an impartial probe into the matter and the report will be submitted to the SSP Mohali,” Atwal told reporters.

A woman police officer will also be part of the SIT, police said. Adequate security personnel were deployed in the wake of the farmers’ march, which began from Gurdwara Amb Sahib in Mohali.

Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher asserted that it should be found out what led to the incident.
There should be no injustice with the woman constable, he said. Farmer leaders also lashed out at Ranaut for allegedly making provocative statements against the people of Punjab.
