What does the law say?
In India, slapping is a 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 own will, he 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 behaved badly at the time of the incident and then committed this incident, then the court can also change the punishment.
Punishment clauses will be decided in the investigation report
If a person uses criminal force or symbolic attack to scare another person and no harm is caused to him but the victim is scared, then the accused will be held guilty under section 358. Section 352 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) says, if a person attacks or uses criminal force on the victim without any provocation, then in such cases, three months imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs 500 has to be given or both imprisonment and fine can be imposed. However, after the investigation report comes, it is decided which sections are to be imposed. However, service related action can also be taken against the CISF woman jawan who slapped Kangana.
