Mild lathicharge by police to disperse protesting BPSC aspirants in Patna

The aspirants say the new system is unfair and want the traditional method back, as they are concerned it may impact their performance in the exam.

The protests near the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) office in Patna escalated on Friday. Police were called in to control the crowd, and they used a lathi-charge to disperse the students who were blocking traffic.

There were claims from some protesters that they had been injured during the lathi-charge, although the police denied this, saying that mild force was used to break up the protest.
