A lawyer on Monday was held after he went near the judge's dais and tried to throw a sports shoe at Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai in the Supreme Court.
The 71-year-old, identified by the Delhi Police as Rakesh Kishore, was quickly stopped by Gavai's Z-plus security team and handed over to the Supreme Court's security unit, as per an Indian Express report.
"Don't get distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not affect me," CJI Gavai said, calmly urging that the proceedings continue.
