Confidence C — based on the press record (archived below). No primary documents on file yet; treat names of agencies, dates and figures as reported, not established.
At Bapu Pariksha Bhavan in Patna, the 70th BPSC prelims of 13 December 2024 descended into disruption, with candidates alleging delayed distribution and a leak. BPSC attributed the disruption to a deliberate ruckus by 'miscreants', identified 30–40 people for debarment, and ordered a re-test for that centre's roughly 12,000 candidates, held on 4 January 2025. Two FIRs were registered. Statewide cancellation demands were declined; protests continued for weeks.
