Patna: Police lathi-charge Bihar civil service aspirants who are protesting to seek re-examination

| @indiablooms | Dec 30, 2024, at 12:23 am

Police resorted to lathi-charge and used water cannons to disperse thousands of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants who were protesting at Gandhi Maidan in Patna city to demand a re-examination of the 70th BPSC preliminary exams amid allegations of question paper leak.

They are seeking a cancellation of the 70th Integrated Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination (CCE), 2024.

The demonstrating aspirants, who were firm on meeting state CM Nitish Kumar, reportedly tried to break the police barricade when cops lathi-charged them.

Security was beefed up close to Hotel Maurya in the city to contain the protesters.

The protests have been happening in the Bihar capital since the prelim exam was conducted on December 13.

Jan Suraaj Party Prashant Kishor had extended his support to the aspirants.

"I must say that irregularities and paper leaks have now become the norm as far as BPSC exams are concerned. It can't go on like this... We have to find a solution," he was quoted as saying to the protesters as reported by India Today.
