When asked about the slap incident, Karan told reporters, “Dekhiye, I do not support any kind of violence, verbal or physical.”

In two separate Instagram stories, the composer had said if Kaur is “removed” from her services, he would ensure she is “gainfully employed."
Based on a complaint lodged by the CISF, the Mohali police had registered an FIR against CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 341 (wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code.
