NEET paper leak: Bihar students clash with security forces; police use bullets, batons

Patna: Many students and at least 14 police personnel were injured in clashes during protests over NEET paper leak across several districts of Bihar on Thursday, prompting the security forces to fire in the air and baton-charge to disperse the agitators, officers said.

Protesters in Jehanabad, Darbhanga, Katihar, Begusarai, and several other districts hurled stones at the police personnel, breached barricades and vandalised properties of the government and the railways during the demonstrations over the paper leak in the medical entrance test and demand for resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
