Police deploy lathi charge, water cannons to disperse protesting BPSC candidates in Patna



Meanwhile, a delegation of BPSC candidates will meet state chief secretary Amrit Lal Meena to sort out the deadlock. BPSC aspirants have been staging a dharna in the Gardanibagh locality of the state capital for the last more than 10 days. BPSC had conducted the prelim examination on December 13.Patna District Magistrate (DM) Chandrasekhar Singh said that the district administration would not allow students to congregate at Gandhi Maidan on Kishor’s call as it is a restricted area.Candidates claimed that the question paper was leaked, and there were delays in distributing the papers. Several candidates also reported receiving the question paper nearly an hour late, while others claimed that answer sheets were torn, fuelling suspicions of a potential leak. The BPSC cancelled the preliminary examination for candidates at the Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre after the exam conducted on December 13 was disrupted by “unruly” aspirants, resulting in a ruckus during which an on-duty official tragically died of a heart attack.The Commission will conduct a re-test on January 4, 2025, at a different centre in the state capital for around 12,000 candidates.
