Around 110 ABVP workers were detained on Tuesday during their march to the Jharkhand Assembly here to protest against police action on students agitating over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations in the state, a senior officer said

The detention was made as members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) started their procession from the old Vidhan Sabha area here, he said

Meanwhile, clashes broke out between ABVP workers and police personnel as the protesters did not allow the bus with detainees on board to move

The ABVP demanded answers from the government over alleged police atrocities against students and claimed that over 200 workers were arrested by the Ranchi Police during their protest march to the assembly

The RSS-affiliated student organisation had called for the march to protest against the baton charge on students during their demonstration on Monday. Thousands of job aspirants marched towards the assembly, breached multiple barricades and clashed with police personnel on August 10. The police used water cannons near Jagannathpur Temple and fired tear gas shells as the protesters moved towards the assembly. Several protesters claimed they were injured, while Ranchi Police said 14 policemen suffered injuries during the protest.
