Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
A shocking video has emerged showing an altercation between a Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector and a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, where the two men are seen slapping each other. The fight broke out after the policeman, identified as Gadilingappa, went to disperse a group that gathered in Chitradurga district around midnight on Friday.
According to reports, Gadilingappa was on duty when he received a call to disperse a group of people who had gathered in the area. However, things took a turn for the worse when the group’s leader, BJP leader Hanumanta Gowda, allegedly abused Gadilingappa.
Enraged by the abuse, Gadilingappa slapped Gowda, which led to a full-blown argument between the two men. The altercation continued for some time, with both parties refusing to back down. The video shows the two men slapping each other multiple times, with bystanders trying to intervene to calm the situation.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for action to be taken against both Gadilingappa and Gowda. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, and both men have been booked under charges of assault.
The incident is all the more shocking given the high position held by Gowda as a BJP leader. The party has been accused of promoting a culture of violence and intolerance, and this incident only adds fuel to that fire.
In a statement, the Chitradurga police said, “We have taken cognizance of the video and are investigating the matter. Both Gadilingappa and Gowda have been booked under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for voluntarily causing hurt.”
The incident has also sparked a debate about the role of politicians in society. Many have questioned whether politicians like Gowda should be allowed to get away with such behavior, and whether it sets a bad example for the rest of society.
Gowda has refused to comment on the incident, but Gadilingappa has said that he was simply doing his duty when he was attacked by the BJP leader. “I was on duty when I was abused by Gowda. I slapped him back because I couldn’t take the abuse,” he said.
The incident has also raised questions about the training and preparedness of police officers to deal with such situations. Many have pointed out that police officers are often put in difficult situations, and that they need to be better equipped to handle such situations.
The Karnataka Police Department has said that they are taking the incident seriously and are conducting an inquiry into the matter. “We are investigating the incident and will take stern action against those found guilty,” said a police spokesperson.
The incident is a stark reminder of the need for better training and preparedness of police officers to deal with such situations. It also highlights the need for politicians to be held accountable for their actions, and to set a good example for the rest of society.
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what action will be taken against Gadilingappa and Gowda. However, one thing is clear – the incident highlights the need for better training and preparedness of police officers, and for politicians to be held accountable for their actions.
