Bihar’s government announces it will withdraw legal cases filed against people who protested over the NEET paper leak and will release those detained. Multiple reports say the state issues an order to initiate the withdrawal process for “all FIRs, criminal complaints and show-cause notices” against individuals involved in the protests. The government also directs authorities to release those jailed or detained under different charges, with some reporting that the releases are to be carried out before a specified date. The announcement comes amid political pressure, according to one outlet, and is presented as an administrative step to end proceedings related to the protests. The withdrawal covers cases registered by law enforcement and associated legal notices issued in connection with the demonstrations, rather than allegations on the paper leak itself. The government’s action affects protesters held under various charges tied to the protest activity, and it applies to the set of cases and notices identified in the order.
