Former IPS officer, BJP leader Bhaskar Rao lauds lawyer’s attempt to throw shoe at CJI
Bengaluru: BJP leader and former Police Commissioner of Bengaluru Bhaskar Rao has drawn severe criticism for his appreciation of the lawyer’s recent attempt to throw his shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai.
Even as the advocate Rakesh Kishore is being criticized and was also suspended by the Bar Council of India, Rao lauded the advocate, calling his move as brave. “His daring to act so and also live with it is definitely worth appreciation,” the former police officer has said.
Congress leader Mansoor Khan, however, has slammed Rao for his comment, calling it a fall of the officer. “This is a legal issue, with the lawyer having violated the law and yet, are you lauding his act as bravery? It is shameful for you, a former IPS officer, who once upheld the law but is now defending a man who insulted the CJI. What a fall!” Khan has tweeted on his personal ‘X’ account.
Even if it is Legally & Terribly Wrong, I admire your courage, at your age, to take a stand and live by it, irrespective of Consequences 🙏

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
