Protest in Patna: Tejashwi Yadav and RJD Workers Detained Over Student Concerns

Police detained Tejashwi Yadav and other RJD leaders as they marched over NEET paper leaks and alleged AK-47 firing, with three people injured in earlier clashes.

  • On Wednesday, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav and RJD MP Misa Bharti were detained by Patna police while leading a march toward Lok Bhavan, protesting unemployment and alleged exam paper leaks.
  • The protest follows outrage over a July 25 incident in Siwan, where a constable allegedly used an AK-47 rifle during student demonstrations against NEET exam paper leaks.
  • Demonstrators demanded the filling of 32,000 teacher vacancies under TRE-4 and a domicile policy, while the government transferred 17 senior Indian Police Service officers, including the Siwan Superintendent of Police.
  • BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi accused Tejashwi of "part-time politics," claiming the government resolved student concerns, while RJD leaders countered with criticism of the state's "dictatorial attitude."
  • Protests continue at Gardanibagh as the government implements reforms to strengthen the examination system, including legal provisions for up to eight years of imprisonment for paper leak incidents.
