Kohima: The Naga Students' Federation slammed police for using excessive force against students. Officers attacked protesters in New Delhi on July 20, 2026. The federation leadership, including president Mteisuding and education committee convenor Pithungo Shitio, issued a sharp rebuke regarding the incident.
Police deployed tear gas and baton charges to scatter the crowd. They even sent plainclothes officers armed with lathis into the demonstration. The union labeled these tactics unacceptable in a democratic nation. The federation stated, "brutal use of force" against the students was unnecessary and violent.
Students organized the demonstration to demand answers regarding repeated competitive exam paper leaks. They want officials to fix the recruitment system and ensure transparency. The protest served as a call for accountability in public testing.
