In Patna, youth activists affiliated with the Bhim Army and Azad Samaj Party engaged in a heated standoff with law enforcement while protesting the BPSC's 70th exam procedures. The protestors argued that the examinations were being manipulated, putting disadvantaged students at a permanent disadvantage.
Police units, deployed from Gandhi Maidan to Lok Bhawan, used barricades to try to contain the crowd. When demonstrators tried to climb over the barriers, a scuffle broke out. Several activists were arrested on charges of unlawful assembly, while others continued to chant "Jai Bheem" and demand swift action against the BPSC chairman.
