Maharashtra and Bihar Move to Drop Cases Against NEET Protesters

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and the Bihar government have directed their respective home departments to withdraw FIRs filed against students involved in recent NEET protests.

The decision follows mounting pressure from student unions and opposition parties, with authorities also initiating the release of protesters currently held in judicial custody.

This move marks a significant de-escalation in the standoff, as the Centre faces continued scrutiny over the handling of the NEET paper leak and subsequent civil unrest.
