What does the law say?

In India, slapping comes under the category of crime, for which there is a provision of punishment. In such cases, the police register a case under section 323 of the IPC. Under section 323 of the IPC, if someone hurts or harms someone on his/her own will, then he/she can be jailed for 1 year. Apart from this, there can be a fine of Rs 1,000 or both. If it is proved that someone misbehaved at the time of the incident and then committed this incident, then the court can also change the punishment.

The investigation report will decide the punishment sections

If a person uses criminal force or symbolic attack to scare another person and no harm is caused to him/her but the victim is frightened, then the accused will be considered guilty under section 358. Section 352 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) says, if a person attacks the victim without any provocation or uses criminal force, then in such cases, three months imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs 500 has to be paid or both imprisonment and fine can be imposed. However, after the investigation report comes out, it is decided which sections are to be applied. However, service related action can also be taken against the CISF woman jawan who slapped Kangana.
