Police personnel detain protesting students after clashes break out during the bandh in Patna. Authorities said protesters attempted to breach barricades, forcing police to use mild force to disperse the crowd.

Police conduct flag marches and maintain heavy deployment across sensitive districts, including Patna, as authorities cancel personnel leave and tighten security to prevent further violence during the bandh.

Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav extends support to protesting students at Ram Gulam Chowk in Patna before being detained by police during the bandh.

Protesters gather at JP Chowk in Siwan, where clashes between different groups lead police to fire tear gas shells and use mild force to restore order after stone pelting and unrest.

A district administration vehicle is set on fire and several others vandalised as violent protests escalate in Chhapra, Saran district. Police resort to baton charge to control the situation.

Students block roads and overturn a police vehicle near Tilkamanjhi crossing in Bhagalpur after a protest march turns violent. Police later disperse the crowd and detain several individuals.

Protesters carrying banners of the All India Students Association (AISA) and Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA) burn tyres and block the Samastipur-Patna main road while demanding accountability over the NEET paper leak.

Student leaders march through Bihar Sharif in Nalanda district under heavy police deployment, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination paper leaks.
