Jharkhand邦学生领袖Devendra Nath Mahto在参加抗议游行后被送入医院接受治疗[1]。这位学生领袖在绝食九天期间继续参加抗议活动，期间警方于周一在Ranchi市立法议会使用催泪弹、警棍和水枪驱散人群，导致其健康状况恶化[1]。
学生抗议者指控政府招聘考试存在违规行为[1]。CJP创始人Abhijeet Dipke对警方的驱散行动提出严厉批评，称其"残忍和不人道"[1]。Jharkhand BJP单位随后要求在周二实行全邦罢工[1]。此前，政府与学生抗议者之间的第六轮谈判于周日以失败告终[1]。
A student leader in India's Jharkhand state has been hospitalized following a police operation against protesters. Devendra Nath Mahto was admitted to hospital after participating in a demonstration while observing a nine-day fast, which had weakened his health.[1] The incident occurred on Monday when police deployed tear gas, batons, and water cannons to disperse the gathering at the state legislative assembly in Ranchi.[1]
The crackdown has drawn sharp criticism from political and student leadership. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the protesting organization CJP, characterized the police action as "brutal and inhuman."[1] In response to the violence, the Jharkhand unit of the BJP called for a state-wide strike on Tuesday.[1] The underlying cause of the demonstrations is student allegations of irregularities in government recruitment examinations.[1] Negotiations between the government and student protesters, which had reached a sixth round of talks, broke down on Sunday prior to Monday's police action.[1]
