Bihar’s Education Minister, Sunil Kumar, announced that the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) will look into complaints from students about the 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) held in 2024. Speaking to reporters, Kumar said, “Students have the right to express their concerns, and the Commission will investigate and make the right decision.”
Many students protested in Patna, asking for the cancellation of the exam conducted on December 13. The situation escalated on Sunday when the police used force to break up the crowd in Gandhi Maidan. Reports say that the police lathi-charged and used water cannons to keep the protesters back.
After the protests, the Bihar Police filed a complaint against around 600-700 people, including Jan Suraaj leader Prashant Kishore. They are accused of gathering without permission and causing disturbances in Gandhi Maidan.
The Patna Administration stated that Jan Suraaj Party was not allowed to hold a gathering near the Gandhi statue, but people showed up anyway and caused trouble. The crowd allegedly clashed with the police, damaged loudspeakers, and ignored police warnings. As a result, the police had to disperse them using water cannons.
The Patna Administration confirmed that an FIR has been filed at the Gandhi Maidan police station against the large gathering for causing chaos and not following the rules.
