Bihar Bandh Violence: Siwan Cop Suspended for Firing AK 47; 200 NEET Protesters Detained The protests against the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in Bihar have taken a dark turn, with nearly 200 students detained for over 24 hours and allegations of police high handedness emerging.
The treatment of minors has been particularly egregious, with advocates claiming that many were caught while simply passing through the protest area.
According to Soma Kumari, a student activist, around 70% of the detained protesters are minors who are being treated as adults in every sense. This has led to concerns about their rights being trampled upon.
