On Wednesday, Bihar Police detained several aspirants of the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) 4.0 who were protesting outside Patna College, demanding the release of the examination notification from the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). The police were seen dragging protesters and detaining them in vans. Patna City Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Rajesh Ranjan explained that the protest was unauthorized, as the Principal of Patna College had issued a circular the day before, indicating that examinations were ongoing. He emphasized that the police were deployed to prevent unauthorized assemblies that could disrupt the examination process and traffic flow. This protest follows previous demonstrations over the TRE 3.0 results, where candidates raised concerns regarding unaddressed vacancies and discrepancies in the published results. Last year, protesters had engaged in a 50-day sit-in over similar issues, which drew attention from the Bihar Governor and even reached the Supreme Court, although the court declined to intervene. The current situation highlights ongoing frustrations among aspirants regarding the recruitment process in Bihar.
