Prominent right-wing YouTuber and influencer Ajeet Bharti was questioned by the Noida Police on Tuesday following remarks he made after a lawyer attempted to throw a shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai in the Supreme Court on October 7.

Bharti, who was later released, was first taken to the Sector-58 police station for questioning and subsequently transferred to the Deputy Commissioner of Police’s office for further interrogation.

The questioning comes after Bharti posted a video on his social media platforms, including X and YouTube, commenting on the shoe-throwing incident at CJI Gavai.

In the video, he called Chief Justice Gavai “a lousy, undeserving judge” and suggested the judge “should face a contempt of court case.”

He added in a separate remark, “I wanted to make a video about ‘shoes and the Chief Justice’ after seeing his shoes in a photo recently, but could not shoot that one for some reason. Well, it seems ‘shoes’ were sticking to him ever since!”

The courtroom incident took place inside Court No 1 of the Supreme Court on Monday morning, around 11:35 am, during the mention of cases before the Chief Justice’s Bench, when a lawyer tried to throw a shoe at CJI Gavai.
