Noida Police questions YouTuber Ajeet Bharti following his controversial remarks after an advocate's attempted shoe attack on Chief Justice B.R. Gavai.
The Noida Police today took prominent YouTuber Ajeet Bharti in for questioning following purportedly “incendiary” remarks he made after a lawyer attempted to throw a shoe at Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai in the Supreme Court on October 7, 2025. He was later released during the day.
As per media reports, Bharti was first brought to Sector-58 police station and questioned, then transferred to the DCP’s office where further interrogation was done.
After the incident in the Supreme Court, Bharti put up a video on his X and other social platforms, commenting on the incident. He wrote: “Gavai is a lousy, undeserving judge, and he should face a contempt (of court) case".
An unexpected incident unfolded inside the Supreme Court of India on Monday morning, when an advocate attempted to throw a shoe at the Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, while court proceedings were underway. The courtroom disturbance took place around 11:35 a.m. in Court No. 1, during the mentioning of cases before the Chief Justice's Bench.
According to eyewitnesses, the advocate, identified as Rakesh Kishore, suddenly removed his footwear and hurled it in the direction of the dais before security personnel swiftly restrained him. The object did not reach the Bench, and order was restored within moments. The man was immediately taken into custody by security officials and handed over to the Delhi Police for questioning.
The actions allegedly emanated after the CJI made certain remarks during a recent hearing relating to the restoration of a 7-foot beheaded idol of Lord Vishnu at the Javari temple in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh.
