In a shocking incident, a Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector and a BJP leader were caught on camera slapping each other after an argument broke out in Chitradurga district on Friday night. The video of the altercation has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage and concern.
According to reports, the incident occurred around midnight on Friday when the policeman, identified as Gadilingappa, went to disperse a group that had gathered in the area. However, things took a turn for the worse when the BJP leader, Hanumanta Gowda, allegedly abused Gadilingappa.
The policeman, who was reportedly trying to maintain law and order, slapped Gowda in response to the abuse. But instead of backing down, Gowda retaliated by slapping Gadilingappa back. The two men were seen exchanging blows in the video, with onlookers watching in shock and horror.
The argument is believed to have started when the group that had gathered in the area began to get rowdy and noisy. Gadilingappa, who was on duty, went to disperse the group and asked them to leave the area. However, Gowda, who was part of the group, allegedly refused to comply and started abusing the policeman.
Gadilingappa, who was reportedly trying to maintain his composure, asked Gowda to calm down and leave the area. But Gowda continued to abuse him, leading to the policeman slapping him. The video shows Gowda slapping Gadilingappa back, and the two men engaging in a physical altercation.

The incident has also raised concerns about the increasingly toxic political environment in the state. There have been several instances of political leaders and workers engaging in violent and abusive behavior, and this incident is just the latest example.
In a statement, the Karnataka Police said that they are taking the incident seriously and are investigating the matter. “We are investigating the incident and taking statements from both parties,” said a police spokesperson. “We will take strict action against anyone found guilty of violating the law.”
The incident has also sparked a debate about the role of politicians in society. Many have questioned whether politicians should be above the law and whether they should be held accountable for their actions.
In conclusion, the incident between the policeman and the BJP leader is a shocking example of the toxic political environment in the state. It is a reminder that political leaders and workers must be held accountable for their actions and that they should not be above the law.
