Aggrieved students and activists of the All India Students' Association (AISA) on Wednesday burnt the effigies of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to protest against alleged anomalies in the Class XII examination results.
Some students who had on Monday launched fast and activists of the AISA, took out a procession in the state capital and burnt the effigies at busy Dakbunglow roundabout here.
Talking to reporters, AISA president Abhyuday charged Singh, Sibal and Kumar of ignoring the agitation of students against the anomalies in the Plus II examination results declared by the CBSE.
He demanded that the Regional Head of CBSE Patna Office be removed and action taken against the officials responsible for the problem.
Aggrieved students and parents had yesterday ransacked the regional office of CBSE.
They had smashed glasses and damaged furniture of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Patna regional office.
They also clashed with the employees and private security.
Acting head of the CBSE Patna Region Office, S U Sorte said he had already assured the students of sending their answer sheets to the Board's New Delhi office for verification of marks.
"We will prepare a list of aggrieved students and will send the copies to Delhi for proper verification," he said.
Sorte said out of the 900 copies sent for re-counting the marks, error was found approximately only in 20 copies.
"Four to five copies were found in which students were given about 10 marks less and in seven to eight copies some students got one or two marks less."
Patna office had received about 2000 applications with request for re-counting, he added.
A group of students had sat on a day-long fast yesterday but had called it off after Sorte assured of taking up the case with the Delhi office of CBSE.
