NEW DELHI: A 22-year-old man facing murder charges threw a slipper at a judge in a Thane district court on Saturday.
The incident occurred during a hearing at the Kalyan town court before District and Additional Sessions Judge R G Waghmare.
The accused, Kiran Santosh Bharam, requested his case be transferred to a different court. The judge instructed him to submit a formal application through his lawyer.
When his lawyer failed to appear, Bharam was asked to provide another lawyer’s name and given a new court date. He then threw his slipper towards the judge. The slipper missed the judge, hitting a wooden frame near the desk.
Police subsequently filed charges against Bharam, including assault or criminal force to deter a public servant and endangering the safety of others.
