US Edition‘May Have Missed CM’s Slapping, but Not Public Humiliation’: Karnataka Cop Humiliated by Siddaramaiah Resigns, Retracts Letter
BELAGAVI, KARNATAKA, INDIA, JUL 3 – ASP Narayan Baramani cited emotional distress and a blow to police morale after CM Siddaramaiah's public slap attempt during a political rally, leading to his voluntary retirement request.
- Narayana V Baramani, who held the position of Additional Superintendent of Police, stepped down on June 12 following public humiliation by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at a Congress event in Belagavi on April 28.
- The incident stemmed from Siddaramaiah's anger over a security lapse during a protest rally against rising prices under the Modi government, when he allegedly raised his hand as if to slap Baramani on stage.
- Baramani, with 31 years of service, experienced deep emotional distress, public disgrace before media and senior leaders, and lack of consolation from colleagues or officials, which made his job difficult.
- Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka criticized Siddaramaiah's action for humiliating a dedicated officer, lowering morale within the police force, and undermining the principles guiding the bureaucracy.
- Baramani's resignation highlighted tensions within Karnataka's civil service and drew criticism from opposition, while the government has not yet accepted his retirement request.
