Two days after the Bihar government promises to withdraw cases against protesters, families of the detained students and activists say they are still waiting for their release. Reports from multiple outlets describe families speaking to authorities only after a delay, with some relatives saying they were not informed about the arrests for several hours after the detentions. The families’ accounts focus on uncertainty about when the cases will be formally withdrawn and what steps remain in the process. While the government’s decision is presented as a pathway to release, the detainees are reported to remain in custody, leaving relatives anxious about their status and legal standing. The reporting also indicates that the families are attempting to coordinate information and assistance as they seek updates on the arrests and the outcome of any case withdrawal procedures. Overall, the situation reflects a gap between the announced administrative action and the immediate impact on those detained, as well as concerns about timely communication to families following arrests.
