Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
In a shocking incident, a video has surfaced showing a police officer and a BJP leader engaging in a physical altercation, with both men slapping each other multiple times. The argument allegedly began when the police officer, identified as Gadilingappa, went to disperse a group that had gathered in Chitradurga district in the early hours of Friday.
According to reports, Gadilingappa, a Sub-Inspector with the Karnataka Police, was on duty when he received a call about a group of people creating a ruckus in the area. Upon arriving at the scene, he found that the group had gathered around 12:30 AM and was refusing to disperse.
As Gadilingappa tried to intervene and disperse the crowd, a man identified as Hanumanta Gowda, a local BJP leader, allegedly started abusing him. The police officer, reportedly taken aback by Gowda’s behavior, slapped him in response.
However, Gowda did not take the slap lying down and retaliated by slapping Gadilingappa back. The two men continued to exchange blows, with the altercation escalating into a full-blown physical fight.
Fortunately, the fight was eventually broken up by other police officers who arrived at the scene, and both Gadilingappa and Gowda were taken into custody. According to reports, both men have been charged with sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) related to causing hurt and using indecent language.
The video of the altercation has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for the authorities to take stern action against both parties involved. The incident has also raised questions about the behavior of political leaders and their lack of respect for law enforcement officials.
“This is a shameful incident and reflects poorly on both the police officer and the BJP leader,” said a local resident, who wished to remain anonymous. “Both parties involved should be held accountable for their actions and should face the full force of the law.”
The incident has also sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for greater accountability and decorum from political leaders. “This is a clear case of abuse of power and lack of respect for the law,” tweeted one user. “Both Gadilingappa and Gowda should be held accountable for their actions.”
The incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater accountability and respect for law enforcement officials in India. In recent years, there have been numerous incidents of political leaders and other influential individuals abusing and intimidating police officers, often with impunity.
In this case, the fact that the altercation was captured on camera and has gone viral on social media has put pressure on the authorities to take action against both parties involved. The incident is a wake-up call for all of us to respect the law and the people who are sworn to uphold it.
