Students Protest in Patna Over 70th BPSC Exam, Clash with Police During March
Students in Patna have been protesting for over two weeks against alleged irregularities and a paper leak in the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam, demanding its cancellation and reforms in recruitment processes. The protests, supported by multiple student groups and opposition leaders like Tejashwi Yadav, escalated as demonstrators broke police barricades while attempting to march to the Chief Minister's residence. Authorities deployed heavy security and engaged in dialogue with protest leaders, who insist on meeting the Chief Minister or Education Minister to resolve their demands.
