PATNA, INDIA – The Patna district administration has released a statement refuting claims made by Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraj, regarding his recent arrest and bail. Kishor was arrested on January 6th for holding an unauthorized protest at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. While granted bail on the same day with a ₹25,000 bond, Kishor’s lawyer initially stated he had refused the bail and was prepared for imprisonment in solidarity with BPSC (Bihar Public Service Commission) student protesters. Reports circulated that Kishor had been sent to Beur Jail, only to be released on bail later that evening.
The Patna administration’s statement directly contradicts this narrative, deeming Kishor’s assertions false. This raises questions about Kishor’s actions and whether his involvement with the BPSC student protests is a means to further his political ambitions. The administration’s official statement provides a contrasting account of events, leaving the public to determine the accuracy of Kishor’s statements. The discrepancy between Kishor’s claims and the administration’s official version has sparked significant debate and scrutiny.
