Overview

• Security restrained 71-year-old advocate Rakesh Kishore in Court No. 1 around 11:35 am after he moved to throw a shoe toward Chief Justice B R Gavai.
• Delhi Police detained and questioned Kishore for several hours before releasing him because the Supreme Court secretary general declined to file a complaint.
• The Bar Council of India imposed an immediate interim suspension, barred Kishore from practice nationwide, and initiated disciplinary proceedings with a show-cause notice.
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders across parties condemned the attempt, while bar associations passed resolutions decrying the breach of courtroom decorum.
• Police and witnesses cited slogans and a note referring to 'Sanatan dharma', and Kishore later told ANI he was hurt by earlier remarks in the Khajuraho idol case and voiced no remorse.
