Unprecedented Chaos in Courtroom: Shoe Attack on India’s Chief Justice

In a shocking event that underscores rising tensions in India's legal landscape, an unprecedented attempt was made to attack Chief Justice of India B R Gavai during a Supreme Court proceeding.

A 71-year-old lawyer, identified as Rakesh Kishor from Mayur Vihar, was subdued by security after attempting to throw a shoe at the presiding judge. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the act, calling it a 'shameful attack on the dignity of our Judiciary.'

The incident reflects broader societal issues, with Kharge pointing to increasing hate and fanaticism. Despite the turmoil, CJI Gavai continued his duties, emphasizing the importance of focusing on justice over distraction.
