Veteran singer Usha Uthup caught up with Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, at an event in Delhi on Monday, and she promptly questioned him about his decision on the gruesome rape and murder case of the trainee doctor in Kolkata. "Why are you not in court?" she asked him, and she is now being lauded by netizens.
Uthup and Chandrachud, along with several other respected personalities, attended a conclave in Delhi, wherein the singer confronted the CJI with the question. As soon as she spotted him at the event, she asked him, "What are you doing at an event? Why aren't you in court? When are you announcing your decision on the Kolkata case?"
Usha Uthup doesn't pull punches. The moment she met CJI Chandrachud last evening she said, "What are you doing at an event? Why aren't you in court? When are you announcing your decision on the Kolkata case? The entire world is watching"
