Thousands of students took to the streets alleging huge irregularities in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam results and demanding its cancellation. The exam was conducted on September 21 and 22.
Hazaribagh Bandh was called by the students on Tuesday, leading to a demonstration. Students started marching peacefully from Matwari Gandhi Maidan, reached Bharat Mata Chowk, and blocked NH-33, stranding vehicles for over 10 km for over four hours.
Police first resorted to a light lathi charge to disperse the crowd, but the students started pelting stones at the police, damaging more than half a dozen vehicles, officials said. Police then fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
