The protestors demanded justice for the students, with a supporter stating the demonstration would continue until their demands were met. The protesters claim their fight is crucial for the future of students who have been protesting for the past 15 days.

The Bihar Police intervened to disperse the protestors, clearing the railway tracks and allowing the affected trains to resume their journeys. Anu Kumari, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), assured that the tracks were cleared and trains were signalled to move ahead.
Purnea MP Pappu Yadav expressed concern over the future of students in Bihar and the nation, highlighting the ongoing issues with paper leaks. Yadav accused politicians, the coaching mafia, and officials of ruining the lives of students by allowing paper leaks since 1988-89.
Yadav called for a decisive fight to ensure justice for the students and announced plans to meet with the new Governor on the matter. Prashant Kishor, chief of Jan Suraaj, voiced his support for the protest and vowed to continue his fight for student justice in Bihar.
Kishor denied accusations of using the protest for political gain, stating his involvement was in solidarity with the students' plight. The Jan Suraaj leader criticised Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for allegedly prioritising power over addressing the people's needs.
