Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
A video has emerged showing an altercation between a Karnataka Police Sub-Inspector and a BJP leader, where the two men are seen slapping each other. The incident took place in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka, and the video has left many shocked and concerned about the escalating tensions between law enforcement officials and political leaders.
According to reports, the fight broke out around midnight on Friday when the policeman, identified as Gadilingappa, went to disperse a group that had gathered in the area. The group, which consisted of BJP supporters, was allegedly causing a ruckus and disturbing the peace.
Gadilingappa, who is a Sub-Inspector with the Karnataka Police, reportedly tried to disperse the group and restore order. However, the BJP leader, Hanumanta Gowda, allegedly abused the policeman, which led to Gadilingappa slapping him in return.
The altercation quickly escalated, with Gowda retaliating by slapping Gadilingappa back. The two men continued to exchange blows, with onlookers watching in shock and silence. The video shows the two men, both in their 40s, struggling to get away from each other as they continued to slap each other.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the state, with many calling for action to be taken against both the policeman and the BJP leader. The Karnataka Police have launched an investigation into the matter, and an inquiry has been ordered to determine the circumstances surrounding the altercation.
The incident has also raised concerns about the growing tensions between law enforcement officials and political leaders in the state. In recent months, there have been several instances of violence and aggression between police personnel and political leaders, which has led to a breakdown in law and order in the state.
The BJP has distanced itself from Gowda, with a party spokesperson stating that the leader’s actions were “unacceptable” and “condemnable”. The party has also asked Gowda to explain his actions and has sought an explanation from him.
The Karnataka Police, on the other hand, have come under criticism for not taking action against Gowda earlier. The police have been accused of being soft on the BJP leader and of not taking his abuse and aggression seriously.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of political leaders in promoting violence and aggression. Many have argued that political leaders have a responsibility to set an example and promote peaceful and respectful behavior, especially towards law enforcement officials.
The video of the altercation has gone viral on social media, with many calling for action to be taken against both the policeman and the BJP leader. The incident has also sparked a wider debate about the state of law and order in Karnataka and the need for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of such incidents.
As the investigation into the matter continues, many are left wondering how such an incident could have occurred and what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater discipline and respect in public life, and for political leaders to set an example by promoting peaceful and respectful behavior.
