Khan Sir extended his support to BPSC aspirants protesting the recent lathi-charge incident in Patna. He visited the dharna site in Gardani Bagh to express solidarity with the students opposing rule changes for the upcoming 70th BPSC Preliminary Examination on December 13. His involvement intensified when rumors of his arrest caused confusion and panic among his followers, many of whom believed he had been detained for supporting the protest.
The police used lathi-charge to disperse the demonstrators near the BPSC office as they attempted to block traffic on Bailey Road. A case was registered against the agitators, and student leader Dilip Kumar was arrested for organizing a protest in a restricted area. While eyewitnesses claimed that two or three aspirants sustained injuries during the lathi-charge, officials denied these allegations.

Khan Sir demanded that a statement be issued by the BPSC chairman ruling out the use of the ‘normalization process’ for the examination and extending the examination date, as many aspirants faced technical issues while applying.

Around five lakh candidates are expected to appear for the exam, which will be conducted across 925 centers.
The BPSC clarified that no ‘normalization process’ would be followed in the BPSC exam and it will be held on December 13 across the state. This clarification aims to address the concerns of the aspirants and ensure a fair examination process.
