Jharkhand police deployed tear gas and batons on August 10 to disperse thousands of students protesting against the JPSC exam process outside the Vidhan Sabha in Ranchi.
The protest, which saw students breach security barricades, resulted in multiple injuries and the hospitalization of activist Devendra Mahto during the chaotic confrontation.
The BJP has called for a state-wide bandh on August 11 to protest the police crackdown, while Chief Minister Hemant Soren has urged students to end the agitation.
