Rakesh Kishore, the 72-year-old lawyer who attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai inside the Supreme Court on Monday, has stated he feels “no remorse” for his actions, even as his family has strongly condemned him.

Kishore said he was “ready to face jail” and maintained he had no political affiliation. “It would have been better if I were in jail. My family is very unhappy with what I did. They are unable to understand,” he said in a conversation with Hindustan Times.

The incident occurred at approximately 11:35 am during proceedings in Court No. 1, when Kishore allegedly attempted to remove his shoe and throw it in the direction of the CJI. He was immediately restrained by security personnel and escorted out of the courtroom.
