Hundreds of people who had assembled there soon after Bhat was brought in the court complex handcuffed, raised slogans and some even tried to attack him. Police however threw a cordon around Bhat and whisked him away under tight security from Court Complex to nearby bus stand.

We have decided to submit an application before the CJM demanding exemplary punishment for the fake darvish. He has defamed our locality and has brought disrepute to our district, a village representative said.

An advocate present there said on condition of anonymity that people should allow Gulzar Bhat to have a counsel to plead on his behalf. If no lawyer will plead his case, it will get shifted outside the state and ultimately we will get results like infamous Sabeena-sex scandal, he said.

Large number of people had gathered in the complex adfter news reached that the accused will be brought there today. Police brought him to court at around 5 in the evening. As soon he was brought down of the police vehicle, people tried to assault him but police saved him from the wrath of people present there.
