Earlier, protests broke out at GMC Srinagar over the alleged blasphemous post by a non-local medical student against the Prophet, officials said.
Dozens of students and several junior doctors held a protest against the non-local medical student at GMC Srinagar for his alleged blasphemous display picture on a calling application, the officials said.
One of the protestors said they had given three hours time to the student for removing the display picture but the latter refused to do so.
The protestors are now demanding action against the student for allegedly hurting the sentiments of Muslims, they said.
