**Summary:**
Indian social media influencer Ajeet Bharti was questioned by Noida police on October 8, 2025, regarding his social media posts following an incident where a lawyer attempted to throw papers at the Chief Justice of India (CJI). While Bharti claims the questioning was about a general post, others suggest it’s related to comments he made after the incident. An activist has requested the Attorney General to initiate contempt proceedings against Bharti, alleging his posts incite violence against the CJI. This follows an incident where a lawyer attempted to throw a shoe at the CJI, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with remarks made during a hearing about a Vishnu idol restoration.

**Noida Police Question Social Media Influencer After Incident Involving CJI**
**Noida, October 8, 2025** – Social media influencer Ajeet Bharti was questioned by Noida police on Tuesday, October 8, 2025, following an incident at the Supreme Court where a lawyer attempted to throw papers at Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai.
Bharti, known for his online presence, confirmed he was questioned but stated the inquiry concerned a recent post on the social media platform ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter. He denied being arrested or in police custody after the questioning.
“He was called for an inquiry regarding his recent post on ‘X’. He has not been arrested in connection with the incident,” stated an officer at Sector 58 police station.
However, activist Suraj Kumar Bauddh, founder of Mission Ambedkar, has petitioned Attorney General R. Venkataramani to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against Bharti and a religious orator. Bauddh alleges that the individuals made objectionable statements on social media following the incident, claiming their posts incite violence against the CJI and other judges.
“These statements and actions are aimed at provoking violence against the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India and other judges. The tone and tenor of such public provocation are extremely dangerous, and these posts have gone viral, creating heated debates and escalating tensions,” Bauddh’s letter reportedly states.
The questioning comes after a 71-year-old lawyer attempted to hurl a shoe at CJI Gavai in the Supreme Court on Monday. Police sources indicate the lawyer was allegedly upset over the CJI’s remarks during a hearing last month regarding the restoration of a Vishnu idol in Khajuraho.
Noida police have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
