NEW DELHI: A lawyer tried to hurl what appeared to be a shoe at India's Chief Justice B. R. Gavai in the Supreme Court on Monday (Oct 6), media and lawyers present said, over recent remarks he made about the Hindu god Vishnu.

Gavai reportedly said in separate court proceedings recently that a man filing a plea seeking the replacement of a damaged statue of the god should "go and ask the deity himself to do something", and the court rejected the plea.
