Police lathicharge BPSC aspirants protesting outside CM Nitish Kumar's residence in Patna
Protesters demanding release of the supplementary results of Bihar Public Service Commission's (BPSC) teacher recruitment exam (TRE-3) were lathicharged outside Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's official residence on Tuesday after they allegedly attempted to break the barricades in the high-security VVIP area. An official said repeated requests were made for the protesters to vacate the area and that police resorted to 'mild lathicharge' when the protesters tried to breach the restricted area. Protesters said several were injured in the lathicharge, including women. Police, however, denied claims of serious injuries. The protest, which has been going on for months, is against the delays in realising the TRE-3 supplementary results, along with alleged irregularities, including form rejections, duplicate names in published results and a lack of transparency in the recruitment process. This wasn't the first flare-up in the protest. Aspirants staged a 50-day protest earlier this year at Gardanibagh, which ended with promises from BPSC officials to address concerns. But the supplementary results were not released. The TRE-3, held in July 2024 to fill 89,581 posts for primary, middle, and secondary school teachers, has been mired in controversy over transparency, with candidates demanding a review of rejected applications and clarity on unfilled seats. Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, criticised the government for the police action against the protesters. 'Brutally beating youth who are democratically raising their demands, committing injustice and atrocities, is the main hobby of the Nitish- BJP government. This incompetent government nurtures and protects criminals and corrupt people while it lathicharges students, youth, and the unemployed whenever it feels like it. Everyone will unite this time to change this 20-year-old incompetent, wayward, and useless NDA government, that is certain,' Tejashwi said.

Police baton-charge TRE-3 aspirants protesting near CM's residence in Patna over delay in results
PATNA: Police on Tuesday used baton charge to disperse a group of job aspirants protesting outside Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's official residence, demanding the release of supplementary results for the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-3). Several protestors claimed they were injured in the police lathi-charge and warned of intensifying their agitation if the government failed to meet their demands. The TRE-3 aspirants said they had been protesting for the past four months, but had yet to receive a positive response from the authorities. The situation escalated when the protestors, holding placards and banners, allegedly refused to vacate the prohibited area near the Chief Minister's residence despite repeated instructions from police officials. They instead raised slogans against the state government and the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), which conducted the examination. Some protestors reportedly advanced towards the main gate of the Chief Minister's residence, prompting security personnel to intervene and disperse them. Police later used force to clear the crowd, leading to brief chaos in the prohibited zone. The situation was brought under control following the police action. Deepa Singh, a protestor from Siwan, criticised the state government for not releasing the supplementary results of TRE-3. 'We are being treated like anti-social elements. We were holding a peaceful sit-in outside the CM's residence, but the police used force, injuring many,' she told reporters.
