Protests broke out at the BAPU Exam Centre in Patna on December 13, after candidates accused the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) of irregularities during the exam. Allegations included a leaked question paper, delayed distribution of papers, and damaged answer sheets. Amid the unrest, a group attempted to disrupt the exam, and Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh was filmed slapping a protester. Despite the uproar, BPSC officials dismissed the allegations, asserting that the exam was conducted smoothly across Bihar.
