Policeman & BJP Leader Slap Each Other Amid Argument in K’taka, Video Emerges
A shocking video has surfaced, 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 Chitradurga district, where the policeman, identified as Gadilingappa, went to disperse a group that had gathered around midnight on Friday.
According to reports, the group was causing a ruckus, and Gadilingappa, who was on duty, attempted to disperse them. However, the BJP leader, Hanumanta Gowda, allegedly abused the policeman, which led to a heated argument between the two.
The video, which has gone viral, shows Gadilingappa and Gowda standing face-to-face, with both men shouting at each other. The situation quickly escalates, and Gadilingappa slaps Gowda. In response, Gowda also slaps the policeman, leading to a series of punches being thrown between the two.
The altercation was reportedly witnessed by several people who were present at the scene, but no one intervened to stop the fight. The video has sparked widespread outrage and concern over the manner in which the police and political leaders are expected to behave.
The incident has also raised questions about the handling of the situation by the police. While Gadilingappa was on duty and had a responsibility to maintain law and order, it is unclear why he did not attempt to defuse the situation before it escalated into physical violence.
On the other hand, Gowda’s behavior has been widely criticized, with many questioning the kind of language and behavior that a political leader should exhibit. As a representative of the people, Gowda is expected to set an example and maintain a level of decorum, especially in public.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the increasing incidence of violence and conflicts between police personnel and political leaders. In recent years, there have been several instances of clashes between the two, which have often resulted in serious injuries and even fatalities.
The Karnataka Police have launched an investigation into the incident, and both Gadilingappa and Gowda have been booked under appropriate sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The police have also suspended Gadilingappa pending a thorough inquiry into the matter.
The BJP has distanced itself from Gowda, with the party’s state president, Nalin Kumar Kateel, saying that Gowda’s behavior was unacceptable and that he would be taken to task. The party has also suspended Gowda from the primary membership of the BJP.
The incident has once again highlighted the need for greater tolerance, understanding, and respect between different sections of society, including the police and political leaders. It is essential that we promote a culture of non-violence and peaceful resolution of conflicts, and that we hold our leaders and public officials accountable for their behavior.
In conclusion, the altercation between the policeman and the BJP leader is a stark reminder of the need for greater civility and respect in our public discourse. We must strive to create a society where violence and conflict are not the first resort, but rather a last resort. Only then can we hope to build a more harmonious and peaceful society for all.
