Is the lady standing with the Gandhi family Kulwinder Kaur, who slapped Kangna Ranaut?

In a recent incident, actor turned politician Kangna Ranaut was slapped by a CISF Jawan, Kulwinder Kaur at Chandigarh Airport. As per reports, Kulwinder Kaur was suspended and then arrested in connection with this incident. 

Against this background, an image of a lady standing with the Gandhi family is going viral on social media. Users are claiming that the lady in the image next to Rahul Gandhi is the same CISF Jawan Kulwinder Kaur who slapped Kangna Ranaut. 

A user wrote, “This is the same Kulwinder Kaur who attacked Kangna Ranaut. After seeing this image, you all must have understood the conspiracy behind the incident.”

However, Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. The lady standing with the Gandhi family is not Kulwinder Kaur but DIvya Mahipal Maderna, a MP from Rajasthan.
