Many people turned out at the court premises to see the offender. They even started to give slogans against Udayan. The police managed to take him to the court. Some of the youth there started to throw stones at him. They shouted and demanded his capital punishment. Police, however, safely took him in front of the judge.
Police prayed for murder charges against him to the court. It should be recalled that he was given the charge of kidnapping the girl.
