Indian Youth Congress Supports Students Amid Protests and Police Actions in Bihar
The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) launched a helpline on July 27, 2026, to support students facing harassment amid nationwide protests, receiving over 3,000 calls, many from female students. IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib visited Bihar, meeting families of arrested students and assuring legal and medical aid. He highlighted concerns over police actions, including arrests and surveillance, and urged students to return home, citing the Supreme Court's directive against punitive measures. Bihar Police have not responded to these claims.
