Patna, August 26:
A video of a six-year-old boy, Aditya Kumar, has gone viral during the BPSC TRE-4 candidates’ protest in Patna on August 25, 2026. The first-grade student was seen being taken away by police from the protest site.
Before leaving the protest area, Aditya spoke into a microphone, advocating for job opportunities for the youth and demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary.
Aditya Ready to Face Police Action
The young boy questioned the police about who ordered the incident that caused injuries. He expressed his willingness to endure police brutality if it meant achieving their demands.
In an interview with the media, Aditya confidently stated that he would be ready to face any consequences, including going to jail, to ensure their demands are met.
Call for Unity Among Farmers and Youth
When asked about the protesters’ demands, he mentioned that they are questioning why the BPSC exam paper was leaked. He expressed concern for the future, stating that as a child, he fears that the government might leak their exam papers too. He urged all farmers and young people to join the protest.
Police Intervention Amid Tensions
Aditya declared, “Why should we be afraid? We are not scared. Even if bullets are fired, we will fight against this corrupt government.” As tensions escalated at Dak Bungalow Chowk, police removed him and his mother from the protest site.
Aditya’s Previous Involvement in Protests
This is not the first time Aditya has participated in protests. He had previously joined Tejashwi Yadav’s Lok Bhavan march regarding the paper leak and the AK-47 case in Siwan. He also visited students on hunger strike at Gardanibagh, stating that he is a student and could face similar issues in the future.
Students’ Movement Continues in Patna
The ‘Student Justice Satyagraha’ movement is ongoing at Gardanibagh in Patna, where students are demanding competitive exams and teacher recruitment (BPSC TRE 4.0). Candidates are on an indefinite hunger strike under the banner of the ‘All Ph.D. Holder and Research Scholar Association of Bihar.’ They have made it clear that their protest will continue until concrete decisions are made regarding their demands, which now include 13 points.
The Bihar Public Service Commission recently issued a notification for the teacher recruitment exam (TRE-4) due to the ongoing protests, offering a total of 32,388 positions. Online applications will begin on September 1, with the last date being September 30. Despite this, students have reiterated that their protests will persist until their primary demands are addressed.
