Ahmedabad: Pakistani ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali on Thursday received 'Hanumant Award' from a religious trust even as police foiled the bid by Shiv Sena activists to stage protest outside the venue of the event at Talgajarda village in Bhavnagar district.

"Around 10 members of the saffron party were briefly detained for trying to stage protests against the Pakistani singer," said Mahuva police inspector V S Manjaria.
