India, Oct. 6 -- The Bar Council of India has suspended advocate Rakesh Kishore from practice for trying to hurl his shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Monday.

Notably, the incident took place on Monday when a bench led by the CJI was hearing the mentioning of cases by lawyers.

The lawyer approached the dais, removed his shoe, and tried to throw it at the CJI. However, the security personnel immediately intervened and escorted him out of the courthouse, preventing the attack.

As he was being taken away, the lawyer was heard shouting, "Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge (We will not tolerate any insult to Sanatan)."
