Slapping
Slapping any person in India is a crime, for which there is a provision of punishment. Now the question is what is the latest case?

How many years of jail for slapping?
Now the question is what is the punishment for slapping someone. Actually in such cases, the police register a case under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Under section 323 of IPC, if someone hurts or harms someone on his own will, then he can be jailed for 1 year. Apart from this, he can be punished with a fine of 1 thousand rupees 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.
Attack symbolic
If a person uses criminal force or symbolic attack to scare another person, which does not cause any kind of damage. But the victim feels nervous, then also the person doing this will be considered guilty under section 358 of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the information, earlier the police used to take preventive action under section 107/51 of CrPC in the incident of slapping and punching. Under this, the accused was presented before the duty magistrate, where he was released on the spot after warning him to be of good conduct for a year. But now the police will register a case under Section 323 and 341 of the IPC. After the case is registered under these sections, the investigating officer of the police collects evidence. The case will go to court and if found guilty, there can be a sentence of up to one year and a fine. Although the latest case is of newly elected Lok Sabha member Kangana Ranaut and a security personnel deployed on government duty, the police can also register a case under many other sections in this matter."https://www.abplive.com/gk/why-do-leaders-show-two-fingers-after-victory-where-did-the-victory-sign-originate-from-2709168">Why do leaders show two fingers after victory?
