MPSC protest: Pune Police issue notices to 80 over ongoing sit-ins
· India · Hindustan Times, Indian Express
Pune Police issued notices to 51 students and 29 coaching-class operators on Tuesday for supporting protests demanding MPSC exam transparency and the chairman's resignation. The notices come as demonstrations continued at three city sites despite police denial of permission. Authorities warned further legal action, including criminal cases, if protests persist without approval. Police also launched an inquiry after a drone was spotted flying over the SM Joshi Bridge protest site. Security has been heightened at all protest locations to prevent law-and-order issues.
Why it matters
The notices and potential criminal cases directly affect the 80 individuals summoned and set a precedent for how student demonstrations against exam irregularities will be handled in Maharashtra. Increased police presence aims to prevent violence but may escalate tensions with aspirant groups.
