Ranchi: A man threw ink on All India Students' Association president Neha Bora on Friday during a demonstration towards the Jharkhand Assembly protesting alleged irregularities in state recruitment examinations, accusing her of being "anti-national".
The incident took place near Birsa Chowk as demonstrators headed by two student groups — AISA and the All India Students' Federation (AISF) — were marching toward the assembly building.
Responding to the attack, 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."
A man suddenly emerged out of the crowd and threw ink at Bora," said Shivani, an AISA representative.
The suspect accused of throwing the ink was taken into custody by police, an officer confirmed.
