Earlier, CPI (ML) MLA Sandeep Saurabh was arrested on Friday on charges of allegedly inciting violence in connection with the violent protest that took place in Patna three days ago against the NEET paper leak. The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Patna sent him to judicial custody for 14 days.
Saurabh took part in the protest organized by All India Students Association (AISA) on 22 July in Patna. This demonstration turned violent, in which BJP leaders were attacked and their vehicles were vandalized. The ruling NDA MLAs had reacted sharply to Saurabh's role in this case and accused him of inciting violence during the protest.
