Indian police in eastern India used tear gas, batons, and water cannon to disperse thousands of youth protesters demonstrating for exam reforms. The participants, comprising students and job seekers, gathered in Jharkhand state during ongoing unrest surrounding the issue.

The demonstrations follow weeks of youth-led protests in New Delhi over exam paper leaks. That earlier wave of unrest previously contributed to the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
