ABVP members scuffle with police near the Jharkhand Chief Minister’s residence while attempting to take out a protest march, according to police. The incident occurs after demonstrators move from Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University toward the CM’s residence. Ajay Aryan, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters), says police stop the group to prevent any “untoward situation.”
The outlets also report that 8–10 people are detained. Both accounts describe the confrontation in the same area and link it to the ABVP’s ongoing protest activities. Deccan Chronicle adds that the organisation calls for another march to the state assembly on August 11, as part of its protests against alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. The reports do not specify further charges or the immediate status of the detained individuals.
