Ranchi: A man threw ink at All India Students’ Association president Neha Bora during a protest march to the Jharkhand Assembly in Ranchi Friday over alleged irregularities in recruitment exams in the state, accusing her of being “anti-national”.
The incident occurred near Birsa Chowk when the protesters led by two students’ organisations – AISA and AISF – were marching towards the Assembly.
Reacting to the incident, Bora said, “I am not going to be scared by throwing of ink as I faced pellet-gun fire and baton charge in Delhi protest.”
“We were holding a peaceful march. A man suddenly emerged out of the crowd and threw ink at Bora,” said Shivani, an AISA leader.
She alleged that the man was a BJP-aided goon.
The man, who allegedly threw ink, was detained by the police, an officer said.
Speaking to the media, the man said, “Bora is a supporter of Umar Khalid. I don’t like her. She is an anti-national.”
