BPSC Row: Bihar Police Lathi-Charge On Aspirants As Student Protest Turns Ugly

Patna police lathi-charged Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) candidates on December 25. Police chased and beat the students who had come to 'gherao' the office. On December 18, protesters in Patna demonstrated against the Bihar Public Service Commission, demanding a re-examination. Students preparing for BPSC exams previously protested against changes in exam patterns and the normalization process, requesting that exams be conducted in a single shift with one paper to circumvent the normalization process.
