Airline employee slaps policeman in argument over airport security

This is the shocking moment an airline employee slapped a security officer over a screening procedure at an airport in India. CCTV footage shows the female SpiceJet ground worker, Anuradha Rani, 38, slapping assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Giriraj Prasad across the face during a row at the Jaipur Airport in Rajasthan. An emotional Anuradha was pulled away by the other officers. Local media reported that she had been arguing with Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel, who required her to be frisked upon entry. However, she allegedly became furious as there were no female constables present at the entrance. Anuradha was arrested on July 11 and charged with assaulting a public servant. DCP Kavendra Singh said: 'The woman has been arrested and her statement is being taken. The woman has also lodged a complaint. We are verifying the facts following which appropriate action will be taken.' Meanwhile, SpiceJet accused ASI Giriraj of allegedly sexually harassing their employee. The company said in a statement: 'Today, an unfortunate incident occurred at Jaipur Airport involving a SpiceJet female security staff member and a male CISF personnel. 'While escorting a catering vehicle at the steel gate, our female security staff member, who had a valid airport entry pass issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), India's civil aviation security regulator, was subjected to inappropriate and unacceptable language by the CISF personnel, including asking her to come and meet him after his duty hours at his home.' Charan Singh of the Airport Authority of India, Jaipur, said the case was under investigation.
