Over 40 members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) were detained by Bengaluru police on Tuesday (August 25, 2026) after they staged a protest outside the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) office.
Police misbehaved with female students during a protest by ABVP students against illegal recruitment in KPSC. When the media questioned this, the police tried to block cameras and harass reporters in Bengaluru. There was outrage over the way they spoke in a singular manner.
