Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
A shocking video has surfaced, showing a heated altercation between a Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector and a BJP leader in the state’s Chitradurga district. The video, which has gone viral, shows the two men slapping each other in the middle of a road, following an argument that escalated out of control.
According to reports, the incident occurred around midnight on Friday, when a group of people gathered in the area. Police Sub-Inspector Gadilingappa was called to the scene to disperse the crowd. However, things took a turn for the worse when BJP leader Hanumanta Gowda allegedly abused the policeman, leading to a physical altercation.
Gadilingappa, reportedly, slapped Gowda in response to the abuse, which only served to escalate the situation further. The two men continued to exchange blows, with onlookers attempting to intervene and stop the fight.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the two men slapping each other repeatedly, with neither appearing to back down. The altercation eventually died down, with the two men being separated by bystanders.
The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters, with many calling for the BJP leader to be held accountable for his actions. The Karnataka Police Department has also launched an investigation into the matter, with Gadilingappa being hailed as a hero for standing up to the BJP leader.
Gowda, a well-known figure in the state’s political circles, has been accused of using abusive language and threatening the policeman. The incident has raised questions about the BJP’s approach to dealing with law and order issues in the state.
The BJP has distanced itself from Gowda’s actions, with party leaders calling for an investigation into the matter. “We condemn any form of violence and abuse,” said a BJP spokesperson. “We expect all our leaders to maintain a certain level of dignity and respect towards the law and its enforcers.”
The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of police personnel in the state. The Karnataka Police Department has been under pressure to improve its functioning and reduce the incidence of violence against its personnel.
The incident is the latest in a series of controversies to hit the state in recent weeks. The BJP has been facing criticism for its handling of various issues, including the recent violence in Bengaluru’s Rajarajeshwari Nagar area.
As the investigation into the incident continues, many are left wondering how such a confrontation could have escalated to the point where two men were slapping each other in the middle of a road. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for greater civility and respect in public life, and the importance of maintaining the rule of law in all circumstances.
