NEET protest case: Bihar man claims he was booked despite being in Russia for four months
A Bihar resident has claimed he was wrongly booked in a NEET protest case while he was abroad in Russia. The state government has since announced the withdrawal of all FIRs related to the protests that occurred before July 26.
Why it matters
It highlights issues regarding police accountability and the legal handling of mass protests in India.
A resident of Bihar's Kishanganj district has claimed that police booked him in connection with last week's protest against NEET paper leak despite having been "abroad for the last four months".
Mohammad Sadaqat made the claim in a video purportedly shot in Russia, where he said he has been staying for the past four months.
Though the video has gone viral on social media, PTI could not independently verify its authenticity.
Kishanganj SP Hari Mohan Shukla, when contacted by PTI , neither confirmed nor denied the claim, but said those with grievances could approach police for redressal.
