New Delhi, Jan 6: Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor was arrested on Monday, January 6 by Patna Police as he continued his indefinite hunger strike at Gandhi Maidan, protesting the alleged Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam paper leak. The authorities cleared the protest site and intensified vehicle checks in the surrounding areas.
Kishor began his fast-unto-death on January 2, aligning with students' demands for the cancellation of the BPSC examination due to reported irregularities. The protest aimed to highlight concerns over the integrity of the state recruitment process, which has faced allegations of mismanagement and malpractice.
Kishor's arrest has drawn attention to the students' grievances and the broader demand for accountability in the state's examination system. Further developments are awaited as the situation unfolds.
