BPSC Chairman Refutes Paper Leak Allegations Amid Protests In Patna

Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh has been caught on camera slapping a Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirant who was among a group of students protesting the alleged leak of the exam's paper.

A video shows Mr Singh, flanked by police personnel, having an argument with one of the students, gesturing to him to leave and then taking a few steps forward and slapping him -  dislodging his spectacles, which fall on the road. The student is then taken away by the police personnel and Mr Singh is seen shouting at the other protesters.

The protest was being held by students appearing for BPSC's 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) at the Bapu Examination Centre at Kumhrar in Patna on Friday.
