‘May Have Missed CM’s Slapping, but Not Public Humiliation’: Karnataka Cop Humiliated by Siddaramaiah Resigns, Retracts Letter

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.
