Prashant Kishor Arrested; Supporters Protest at AIIMS Patna, Allegations Against Nitish Govt

Jan Suraj campaign leader Prashant Kishor was arrested amid his hunger strike in protest against alleged irregularities in the BPSC exams. After being detained by the Patna police from Gandhi Maidan, Kishor was taken to AIIMS Patna for a medical check-up, sparking chaos as his supporters gathered at the hospital and staged a protest.Supporters accused the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government of suppressing dissent and silencing voices seeking justice. Kishor, who had been fasting since January 2, has been vocal about demanding the cancellation of the controversial BPSC exam, citing irregularities and a lack of transparency.The police action has drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders and activists, who claim it reflects the administration's unwillingness to address legitimate concerns. Gandhi Maidan, previously a hub for peaceful protests, was forcibly cleared by authorities following his detention.This development has added fuel to the ongoing agitation against the BPSC examination process, with Kishor’s arrest highlighting growing tensions between the government and protesters demanding accountability.
