Overview

  • Police registered an FIR against Prashant Kishor, party leaders and roughly 2,000 supporters for alleged scuffles with police and violation of prohibitory orders during the assembly protest.
  • Officers halted the march near Chitkohra Overbridge and resorted to a baton-charge to break up the sit-in, leaving several Jan Suraaj workers injured as authorities and protesters gave conflicting accounts of the force used.
  • A six-member delegation led by state president Manoj Bharti met with Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena and received verbal assurances to implement the party’s demands for cash grants, land allotments and land-survey reforms.
  • Prashant Kishor’s sit-in outside the restricted zone remains in place as party leaders await a formal timeline and warn of intensified statewide protests if their charter is not acted upon within a week.
  • The confrontation has heightened political stakes for the BJP–JD(U) government and its opponents as Bihar prepares for its October assembly elections.
