a, March 20 (PMI) Tensions flared in Patna after a student protest over UGC regulations led to controversy and alleged hate speech.
During a demonstration at Patna College, student leader Manish Kumar reportedly burned the Manusmriti, stating that the country should be governed by the Constitution. The protest was organised by left-wing and Dalit student groups supporting the proposed UGC Equity Regulations 2026.

Officials said the police acted after receiving information about inflammatory content being shared on social media that could disrupt peace. Further investigation is underway. (pressmediaofindia.com)
