Prakash Raj calls out crackdown on Jharkhand student protests: ‘Brutality won’t work anymore’

Veteran actor Prakash Raj has come out in support of ongoing student protests in Jharkhand, expressing his disapproval of the government's violent crackdown. The actor shared a video from the protest site, showing authorities using tear gas and lathis to disperse students demanding transparency in government examinations. Prakash Raj criticized the brutality, stating that it will only bring the arrogant power down.

He has been an active supporter of student protests in the past, including a notable appearance at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. The Jharkhand protests began after the Jharkhand Public Service Commission announced preliminary examination results on July 2, following which job aspirants alleged irregularities, including a paper leak.
