Patna: (ABN) AISA President Neha Bora visited Beur Central Jail on Monday to inquire about the well-being of students and public representatives arrested during the student protest in Patna on July 22. Inside the jail, she met with detained student leaders, MLAs, and other protesters. After leaving the jail, she stated that the detained students had made serious allegations of mistreatment and misconduct by the police during the crackdown.

Following her meeting with the detained supporters, Neha Bora issued a strict ultimatum to the Bihar government, demanding the immediate release of the arrested students and public representatives by July 29. The AISA president warned that if justice is not provided to the students, a large-scale protest will be held across the state on July 30.

He said that in a democracy, the freedom of the media must always be respected, and violence or attacks against journalists are unacceptable under any circumstances.
