Students across Bihar staged protests demanding action on alleged exam paper leaks and an inquiry into reports of police firing during the demonstrations.
Students from several colleges in Bihar took to the streets on Monday, demanding swift action against what they describe as a systematic leak of examination papers. The protests began in the early afternoon near the state university campus and quickly spread to other educational institutions across the state.
The demonstrators allege that confidential question papers were accessed and distributed before official examinations, compromising the integrity of the assessment process. They have called for an independent inquiry, stricter security measures for exam materials, and accountability for officials involved.
During the rallies, some participants reported that police personnel opened fire on the crowd, resulting in injuries. The students have demanded a transparent investigation into these allegations, insisting that any use of force be examined under the law.
State authorities have acknowledged the concerns and said a committee will be formed to look into both the exam leak and the alleged police action. The situation remains tense as students plan further peaceful demonstrations if their demands are not met.
