In a shocking incident, reportedly an attempt was made to throw a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI), BR Gavai. The accused, identified as lawyer Rakesh Kishore, was immediately detained by court staff and handed over to the police. Before the incident, Kishore was heard shouting, “Sanatan’s insult will not be tolerated.” Chief Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai, as per information, remained calm throughout. He later stated that such incidents don’t affect him and encouraged the proceedings to continue.
The Delhi DCP and Supreme Court security officials are currently questioning the accused.
Supreme Court lawyer Rohit Pandey speculated that the attack was a reaction to Chief Justice BR Gavai’s alleged remarks on religious deities. “I strongly condemn this act and urge strict action against the accused,” he said.
