THE BRIEF

The Bihar government announced it will withdraw all FIRs and drop legal proceedings against students involved in recent NEET-related protests, following intense pressure from the CJP and opposition parties.

The decision includes the immediate release of all detainees arrested during the demonstrations, which saw significant unrest, including a violent bandh in Siwan that left three protesters injured.

This move marks a major victory for the student-led movement, which had threatened to resume statewide agitation if the government failed to meet their demands for amnesty by the set deadline.
