A student-led demonstration in Ranchi over alleged examination irregularities experienced a brief breakdown in order on Friday after an unidentified individual threw ink at All India Students’ Association (AISA) National President Neha Bora during a march.
The incident took place as Bora arrived at the protest site to extend solidarity to candidates agitating against the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) examination processes.
