Key Takeaways

  • Student asserts he is in Russia
  • Bihar police filed FIR during NEET protest
  • Video went viral, fueling public controversy

Amid widespread NEET entrance‑exam protests, an unusual twist emerged. Aman Singh, a 22‑year‑old student from Kishanganj, posted a video claiming he has been enrolled at a Russian university for the past four months.

Within hours, Bihar police registered an FIR against Aman, accusing him of participating in the protest and disturbing public order. The police statement insisted that the FIR was based on verified local intelligence linking him to the demonstration.

In the video, Aman flashes a Russian passport and declares, “I was in Russia, yet an FIR was filed against me.” The claim ignited a viral backlash, with netizens questioning the legitimacy of the police action.

Police later clarified that the FIR was filed on the basis of local contacts and digital footprints, not on physical presence. They added that Aman could challenge the FIR through legal channels if he believes it is unwarranted.

Historical Background
