Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
In a shocking incident that has left many stunned, a video has surfaced showing a violent altercation between a Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector and a BJP leader, where the two men are seen slapping each other. The incident occurred in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka, where the policeman, identified as Gadilingappa, was attempting to disperse a group of people who had gathered on the streets around midnight on Friday.
According to reports, the group had assembled to protest against some issue, and Gadilingappa was sent to the scene to disperse the crowd. However, things took a turn for the worse when the BJP leader, Hanumanta Gowda, allegedly abused the policeman. This led to Gadilingappa slapping Gowda, triggering a full-blown fight between the two.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows Gadilingappa and Gowda engaging in a fierce argument, with both men shouting at each other and eventually slapping each other multiple times. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many questioning the behavior of both the policeman and the BJP leader.
The incident occurred at around 12:30 am on Friday, when Gadilingappa was sent to disperse the group of protesters in the city’s central business district. According to eyewitnesses, the protesters were shouting slogans and creating a ruckus, and Gadilingappa was trying to calm them down.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Gowda, who was present at the scene, allegedly began abusing Gadilingappa. The policeman, who was trying to maintain peace, was taken aback by Gowda’s behavior and decided to take him to task.
“I was just doing my duty, and Gowda started abusing me. I had no choice but to slap him back,” Gadilingappa told the police later. “The protesters were getting out of control, and I was trying to calm them down. But Gowda was not listening, and he started abusing me. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I slapped him.”
Gowda, on the other hand, claimed that Gadilingappa was the aggressor and that he was simply defending himself. “Gadilingappa was trying to intimidate me, and I felt threatened. I slapped him back to protect myself,” he said.
The incident has sparked a major controversy in the state, with many calling for both Gadilingappa and Gowda to be held accountable for their actions. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, and both men have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
The incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater civility and respect between law enforcement officials and politicians. Both Gadilingappa and Gowda should be ashamed of their behavior and should apologize for their actions.
As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: such violent altercations have no place in our society, and both sides must work together to maintain peace and order.
