A man threw ink at All India Students Association president Neha Bora during a protest march in Ranchi on Friday. The accused, identified as Amarnath Pandey, was detained and told reporters he targeted Bora because she supports former JNU student Umar Khalid, calling her anti-national. No FIR has been registered as no formal complaint was received, police said. The march was part of ongoing student agitation over alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams. Bora alleged RSS-BJP goons attacked her and 20 other women, raising religious slogans. She dismissed the attack, saying ink cannot suppress the student movement. BJP and ABVP dismissed the allegations as stage-managed.
