A viral video allegedly showing police detaining a six-year-old during a protest at the Bihar Chief Minister's residence has sparked online controversy. Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke shared the clip on social media, calling it evidence of the 'world's largest democracy' detaining a child during the massive protest.
Kundan Krishnan, DG Operations and Intelligence, dismissed the claim as 'totally misleading', stating the child was not detained but simply taken outside the protest area. The video shows uniformed personnel carrying a child towards what appears to be an ambulance. Times Now Digital could not independently verify the footage's authenticity, location, or date.
The posts follow Tuesday's protest in Patna by BPSC TRE-4 aspirants and students, where police detained several people and used water cannons and lathicharge. Bihar Police has not yet issued an official statement on the claim.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The clash between student protesters and police in Bihar is the latest escalation in long-running agitation over the Bihar Public Service Commission's Teacher Recruitment Examination (BPSC TRE-4). The protest demanding exam transparency and faster recruitment has seen thousands of aspirants on the streets. Police handling of such demonstrations, including the use of water cannons and lathi charges, has previously drawn criticism from opposition parties. The state government has not commented on the specific allegation involving a minor. The next flashpoint will be the government's response to the protest leadership's demands and any action on the viral video claim.
