Prashant Kishor, the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, was arrested by Bihar police while on an indefinite hunger strike in Patna, protesting the alleged paper leak in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam. The strike, which began on January 2, 2025, has gained significant attention as Kishor demands the cancellation of the exam due to claims of malpractice and a paper leak.

Despite his arrest on January 6, Kishor has remained firm in his stance, declaring that he will continue his hunger strike, refusing medical treatment, and stating his determination to continue the protest “unto death.” Kishor’s participation in the protest has amplified the voices of thousands of students who are seeking justice and transparency in the examination process.

The Jan Suraaj Party leader plans to file a petition in the High Court on January 7 to challenge the legitimacy of the BPSC exam and to seek the cancellation of the preliminary test. Kishor’s legal move is expected to increase pressure on the Bihar government to address the concerns raised by students and civil society.

The arrest and the ongoing protest have highlighted growing concerns over the integrity of the BPSC examination process, which is a vital gateway to government jobs in Bihar. Students have accused the BPSC of failing to ensure fairness and transparency in the conduct of the examination. The alleged leak has triggered widespread dissatisfaction and protests, with demands for accountability from the authorities.

Kishor’s arrest marks a significant escalation in the protests and has drawn attention to the broader issue of governance and accountability in Bihar. With the involvement of high-profile political figures and legal action underway, the BPSC paper leak controversy is expected to remain a focal point in the state’s political discourse.

Stay tuned for updates as the situation continues to unfold.
