Patna, on August 25, saw thousands of Bihar BPSC aspirants clash with the police during a protest over teacher recruitment exam rules. The students, most of them preparing for the upcoming exam, demanded that the written tests be conducted in a single stage, rather than in two phases. They also called for the cancellation of a recent Combined Competitive Exam, alleging irregularities.
Joined by Left-wing activists from organizations like SFI and DYFI, the protesters marched from Gandhi Maidan to the chief minister's residence, where they planned to stage a "Mukhyamantri Awas gherao." The police, employing water cannons and batons, attempted to disperse the crowd, leading to a violent confrontation. Many protesters were detained, and several sustained injuries.
Police Superintendent Kartikeya Sharma stated that the situation was now under control, and traffic would be restored once the roads were cleared. The CPI(ML) Liberation, a prominent Left party in Bihar, condemned the police's actions and called for immediate discussions with the students to address their grievances.
