Police Use Tear Gas, Lathis to Disperse Protesting Students in Bihar

On 22 July 2026, Patna police used water cannons, tear gas, and lathi-charge at JP Golambar to disperse student protesters.

The protest, led by the All India Students Association, responded to examination paper leaks and alleged corruption in the education system.

Protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and expressed solidarity with student agitations in Delhi.

Police action followed warnings after sections of the crowd attempted to breach barricades.
