The incident in question occurred when Ranaut, who recently secured victory in her first Lok Sabha election from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, was reportedly slapped by Kaur at Chandigarh airport.The confrontation stemmed from a viral video in which Kaur chastised Ranaut for her remarks regarding farmer protestors during the 2020 demonstrations. Kaur, charged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code by Mohali Police, expressed her indignation at Ranauts characterization of the protestors, citing her own familys involvement in the protests.Individuals were paid Rs 100 to participate in protests During the 2020 farmers protest, Kangana Ranaut allegedly misidentified an elderly protester as Bilkis Bano, a significant figure from the Shaheen Bagh protests, insinuating that individuals were paid ₹100 to participate in protests.
