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

Police detained Tejashwi Yadav and other RJD leaders as the party pressed demands over paper leaks, teacher vacancies and student grievances.

  • On Wednesday, Patna police detained Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav and MP Misa Bharti while leading a protest march from JP Golambar to Lok Bhavan over recurring exam paper leaks and police violence.
  • Demonstrators are protesting police action during a July 25 student protest in Siwan, where a constable allegedly fired an AK-47, and widespread frustration over unemployment and NEET paper leaks.
  • Ahead of the march, Bihar transferred Siwan Superintendent of Police Puran Kumar Jha and 17 other Indian Police Service officers on Tuesday. Protesters faced water cannons while attempting to breach barricades at the Income Tax chouraha.
  • While detained, Yadav said, "The government is pushing the future of students into darkness." The BJP responded by accusing the opposition of "part-time politics," claiming examination results were already completed.
  • The RJD demands filling 32,000 teacher vacancies under TRE-4 and introducing a domicile policy. The NTA is restructuring its examination team, replacing around 600 experts and introducing a four-level question-paper review system.
