Delhi Court: Lawyer Who Threw Shoe at ex-CJI BR Gavai Assaulted With Slippers

Advocate Rakesh Kishore, who had previously hurled a shoe at former CJI BR Gavai, was attacked by unidentified persons with slippers at the Karkardooma Court complex in Delhi.

A video circulating online shows individuals attempting to hit Kishore before others intervened. The attackers’ identities and the motive remain unknown

The incident occurred amidst regular court proceedings, and details about security presence are unconfirmed. No official statement has been issued, and it is unclear whether Kishore will pursue legal action.

Kishore’s licence had been suspended by the Bar Council of India, and criminal contempt proceedings were initiated, though the Supreme Court later indicated it was not inclined to continue with the contempt case.
