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.
