A lawyer’s attempt to hurl shoes at Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai in an SC courtroom was thwarted by security. The lawyer, shouting slogans, was later released. The incident, linked to social media distortions about the CJI’s remarks, has drawn widespread condemnation from legal bodies and political parties, who view it as an attack on judicial independence.
