In Darbhanga, students organized a significant protest march on Thursday against the lathi-charge on students in Delhi and Patna, continuous paper leaks, and the state's education system. According to eyewitnesses, the protest turned violent near Lohia Chowk when demonstrators began pelting stones at the police. In response, the police resorted to a lathi-charge to control the situation.

Senior officials, including DIG Manoj Tiwari, DM Kaushal Kumar, and SSP Jagunath Reddy, immediately arrived at the scene. Under their leadership, a large contingent of police forces was deployed, and the entire area was cordoned off. Stones and bricks were scattered across the road following the pelting. The demonstration saw thousands of students, along with workers from Congress and RJD, parents, and members of various social organizations. Protesters chanted slogans such as 'Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resign', 'Save Constitution, Save Democracy', and 'Inquilab Zindabad'.

Student leaders and parents expressed deep anger over the government's education policy and the recurring paper leaks in the examination system. Parent Bholu Yadav stated that continuous question paper leaks are jeopardizing the future of students. They demanded transparency in the examination system, strict action against the culprits, and an impartial investigation into the lathi-charge incidents against students, with action taken against responsible officials. One police officer sustained a hand injury during the incident. The district administration remained on high alert to keep the situation under control. The march, which started from Karpuri Chowk, reached the Collectorate, where thousands of people had gathered.
