Police use lathi charge to disperse protesting BPSC aspirants outside Bihar CM house

NEW DELHI: Police used lathi-charge to disperse BPSC Teacher Recruitment Exam 3.0 aspirants who were protesting outside Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's residence in Patna on Tuesday over alleged discrepancies in the exam results.
The protesters entered a restricted area demanding the release of supplementary results and resolution of issues regarding vacant posts in the Bihar Public Service Commission examination.

The police forcefully removed women protesters from the area around the CM's house and used batons against male protesters. Some alleged that women protesters were also subjected to baton charging.
"Supplementary result should be released. Vacancies come again and again but the seats remain vacant. If the government has the supplementary result, then why is it not being released," a woman protester said.
The controversy stems from the BPSC TRE 3.0 examination, where out of 87,774 advertised posts, only 66,000 results were declared, leaving 21,000 vacancies unexplained. The situation was further complicated when aspirants discovered duplications in the published results, with one student appearing on three different lists.
This is not the first protest regarding this issue. In March, BPSC Teacher Recruitment Exam 3.0 aspirants had protested for over 50 days in Patna over the same concerns about vacant posts and result declaration issues.
Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan had previously met with a delegation of BPSC aspirants and assured them of issuing necessary instructions to relevant authorities.
The matter reached the Supreme Court, but the court refused to interfere and dismissed the plea that raised allegations regarding the BPSC preliminary examination.
The protesters continue to demand clarity on the unexplained vacancies and the release of supplementary results for the remaining positions.
