The governments of Bihar and Assam have announced they will withdraw all legal cases filed against individuals who participated in protests over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG medical entrance examination. In Bihar, the state government said the legal process for withdrawing all First Information Reports (FIRs), criminal complaints, and show-cause notices against the protesters will be initiated immediately. Similarly, the Assam government on Monday declared it would drop cases and other legal proceedings related to the demonstrations. The decisions come after widespread protests across several states over allegations of a paper leak and other malpractices in the NEET-UG exam. Students and activists had demanded a probe and action against those responsible. The withdrawal of cases is seen as a move to address the grievances of the protesters and restore normalcy. Both state governments have assured that no further action will be taken against those who took part in the peaceful demonstrations. The announcements mark a significant step in de-escalating the tensions surrounding the exam controversy.
