The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) holds statewide protests in Kerala over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG examination. According to reports, demonstrations take place across multiple districts and include attempts by protesters to march towards Union government offices and post offices. In some areas, the situation becomes confrontational, and police move in to control the crowds.
The Hindu reports that police use water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters as they try to proceed with their march to designated offices. Times of India also describes SFI staging protests across the state, focusing on the NEET-UG irregularities as the central issue driving the protests.
Across the coverage, the common elements are SFI’s role in organising the demonstrations, the linkage to concerns about NEET-UG exam irregularities, and the involvement of police in dispersing protesters during clashes in certain locations. The reports describe the protests in an event-focused manner, without detailing specific allegations or outcomes of any investigations.
