Summary

Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) aspirants have protested in Pune for six days, demanding the resignation of MPSC chairman Vivek Bhimanwar over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations, including claims of paper theft. The protests occurred at three sites in Pune despite police denial of permission. Political leaders from multiple parties—including Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Aaditya Thackeray, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's Raj Thackeray, NCP's Jayant Patil, and Maratha activist Manoj Jarange Patil—visited or publicly supported the agitation. Pune Police issued notices to 51 students and 29 coaching class operators participating in or supporting the protests, and launched inquiries including one after a drone was spotted near a protest site. One NCP-SP MLA claimed the MPSC chairman had submitted his resignation to the Chief Minister, though this remained disputed. The protestors, many from farming families, also demanded greater transparency and reforms in the MPSC examination system.
