The claim
The video shows a lawyer confronting the Chief Justice of India (CJI) over the CJP protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
Original review summary
The review identifies the footage as a 16 October 2025 exchange between Jharkhand High Court judge Justice Rajesh Kumar and advocate Mahesh Tiwari, not a confrontation with the CJI over the CJP protest. The exchange concerned a widow whose electricity had been disconnected over outstanding dues.[S1]
Additional context
The CJP announced a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on 10 October 2026, but Delhi Police denied permission and detained several protesters. A Delhi court ordered their release on 11 October 2026. [S1]
The Jharkhand High Court later dropped contempt proceedings against Tiwari after accepting his unconditional apology. [S1]
