New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud following the shocking attack inside the Supreme Court premises, calling the incident “deeply disturbing” and saying it has “angered all Indians.” The conversation comes amid heightened security concerns and growing public outrage over the breach.
According to government sources, Modi assured the Chief Justice that the Centre would extend full support to the judiciary in ensuring security and preventing such incidents in the future. “The attack inside the Supreme Court has angered the entire nation. Such acts are unacceptable in a democracy that respects law and justice,” the Prime Minister said.
The attack took place earlier this week during court proceedings when armed assailants managed to breach security and create chaos in one of the courtrooms. Several people were injured, and panic spread among lawyers, litigants, and staff. Quick action by security personnel prevented the situation from worsening, but the breach has raised serious questions about the effectiveness of existing security protocols.
Chief Justice Chandrachud expressed concern over the incident and emphasized the need for a comprehensive review of security arrangements at the Supreme Court and other judicial institutions. He thanked the Prime Minister for his prompt response and support.
Home Ministry officials have been instructed to coordinate closely with the Supreme Court’s security team to investigate how the attackers gained entry and whether there were lapses in screening and surveillance systems. Early reports suggest that the assailants may have exploited a weak point in the visitor entry process.
The attack has sparked widespread condemnation across political lines, with opposition leaders calling for accountability and immediate upgrades to court security. Legal associations and senior advocates have also demanded stronger measures to protect judges, lawyers, and litigants.
Public reaction has been swift and intense, with many expressing shock that such an incident could occur inside India’s highest court. Social media has been flooded with messages of anger and concern, calling the attack not just a security failure but a direct assault on the rule of law.
As investigations continue, the government and judiciary are expected to work together to implement new security protocols. The incident has also reignited discussions on the need for modernizing surveillance systems and strengthening physical security at key judicial institutions across the country.
