NEW DELHI: Hundreds of students and youth activists took to the streets in Patna on Tuesday, accusing the Bihar government of failing to honour its promise to release students arrested during last month's NEET paper leak protests. Police used water cannons to disperse the march after demonstrators tried to reach chief minister Samrat Choudhary's residence.
