Omkarnath Pandey (in advocate's attire) with a police officer; the flute that he flung at the judge
There was more than just the goddess of justice at the Dindoshi Sessions Court on Thursday. A self-proclaimed 'Lord Krishna' decided to make an appearance, too. A 60-year-old security guard, identified as Omkarnath Pandey, entered a courtroom in lawyer's attire on Thursday, and declared, "I am God Krishna," to the stunned courtroom before flinging a flute at the judge. Pandey was promptly arrested.
Aaccused Omkarnath Pandey, a Sakinaka resident, told the police that his younger brother Ashok Pandey was brutally assaulted by his colleague over a dispute in 2017. Also a security guard, Ashok died during treatment a couple of days after the incident. The accused, Rushdrasen Yadav, was later arrested by the Sakinaka police on charges of murder and the case was under trial in Dindoshi Sessions Court number 10 presided by judge S U Baghele.
