Assaulting a police officer in India is a serious offence and is punishable under the law. If you slap a policeman, you could face legal consequences such as arrest, charges of assault, and potential imprisonment, depending on the severity of the incident and the local laws.
It’s important to treat law enforcement officers with respect and follow the law to avoid such situations. It’s also important to note that legal consequences can vary based on the specific circumstances of the case, the state laws, and the court’s interpretation. Generally, assaulting a police officer is considered a serious offence, and legal action is likely to be taken against the offender.
If you find yourself in a situation involving law enforcement, it’s best to remain calm, respectful, and cooperative to avoid any legal complications.
Section 332 of the IPC deals with voluntarily causing hurt to a public servant in the discharge of their duty. If you slap a police officer, it could fall under this section. The punishment for this offence can range from imprisonment for up to three years to imprisonment for up to seven years, depending on the seriousness of the injury caused.
