A 22-year-old man, who is facing charges in a murder case, was booked by police on Monday after he threw a slipper at a judge during a hearing at a sessions court in Thane district, Maharashtra. The incident took place on Saturday afternoon at the court in Kalyan, where the accused, Kiran Santosh Bharam, appeared before District and Additional Sessions Judge R G Waghmare.

According to police, the slipper did not strike the judge but instead hit a wooden frame situated in front of the judge’s desk before falling beside the bench clerk. The court proceedings were momentarily disrupted by the unexpected act, leaving everyone present in the courtroom stunned.
