According to Zee News, a youth from the Kishanganj district of Bihar has surfaced in a viral video claiming he was wrongly named in a First Information Report (FIR) related to recent NEET protests. The individual asserts that he has been residing in Russia for the past four months, making his physical participation in the demonstrations in India impossible.
The NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) protests have seen widespread unrest across several Indian states, with demonstrators raising concerns over examination integrity and administrative oversight. The inclusion of an individual who is reportedly abroad highlights potential procedural lapses in the filing of police reports during the ongoing civil disturbances.
Local authorities in Kishanganj have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the specific allegations made in the video. The incident has sparked a broader conversation regarding the accuracy of police documentation during mass protest events, as families of those named in FIRs seek clarification from law enforcement officials. Further investigation is expected as the youth and his representatives seek to provide documentation of his travel and residency status to clear his name.
The story is reported by a credible regional news outlet and aligns with the broader context of ongoing NEET-related protests in India. While it is currently single-sourced, the claim is specific, verifiable through official police records, and lacks indicators of fabrication.
