Footwear thrown at a judge in KGF

KOLAR GOLD FIELDS: An undertrial threw his footwear at a judge in the magistrate’s court here on Friday. The incident occurred when the police produced Babu and two others before judge Shivaram. Babu, native of a Tamil Nadu village, was arrested by Robertsonpet police a few days ago on charge of stealing cables. When Babu and other undertrials were produced before the judge, the former allegedly threw footwear at the judge, creating commotion in the court. The judge ducked and evaded the missile.
