CHENNAI: Police detained around 30 members of the Students Federation of India (
SFI) who attempted to stage a protest outside the CBSE’s Chennai regional office in
Anna Nagar against
NEET.
Around 50 SFI members took out a march towards the
CBSE office to register their protest against NEET and to demand that the entrance exam -- that was held on Sunday -- be nullified. However, the protesting students were detained by police even before they could reach the office.
“We told them (police) that we would not create any ruckus and that we just wanted to register our protest. Still they didn’t grant us permission and took us away,” said SFI Chennai district president D Chandru.
The protesters, including two women, were detained in a wedding hall at Padi Pudhur.
