The UP police on Saturday evening cracked up on a group of peaceful protesters by using lathicharge for holding a candlelight march over the alleged irregularities in the 2019 Uttar Pradesh teachers' entrance test.
The protesters were demonstrating at a prominent junction headed towards chief minister Yogi Adityanath's residence, reported Hindustan Times.
The video of the police brutality has surfaced on social media with prominent opposition leaders taking to twitter and condemning the turn of events.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi posted the video and wrote on Twitter that job seeker have been bestowed with lathis in UP, when BJP comes asking for votes, remember this.
Meanwhile, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also attacked the BJP government while saying that India is on its way of becoming a 'Vishwaguru' by cracking down on future teachers.
AAP's Sanjay Singh also attacked the Yogi government while reminding UP CM that the youth whom he is getting beaten are the ones who brought him into power and this brutality would become the last nail in the coffin of his reign.
In 2019, Uttar Pradesh held a mega recruitment drive and examination for the hiring of 69,000 assistant school teachers.
However, the entire process was soon marred with allegations of bias and irregularities, including on allocation of quotas in the merit list of those selected.

 Mild Covid-19 third wave likely to peak in India between Jan, Feb : IIT Kanpur professor

IIT Kanpur professor Manindra Agrawal has predicted that a mild Covid-19 third wave is likely to peak in India between January and February next year.&nbsp;
In contrast to a South African research study, Agrawal said that Omicron does not seem to be bypassing natural immunity from Covid-19 in any significant way.&nbsp;&nbsp;
He said that there is no need to panic about the new variant but citizens must remain careful.&nbsp;
Agrawal also&nbsp;said that the Omicron variant is not leading to critical cases but only mild infection. The data gathered so far suggests that the variant has only mild symptoms, even as its transmissibility appears to be high.&nbsp;
Recommending the&nbsp;mild lockdown&nbsp;including night curfew, restrictions on crowding to&nbsp;control the spread of the virus and reduce the peak value, he said that&nbsp;the third&nbsp;wave in the country is nearly certain; however, how bad it will get will depend on how the government tackles it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

People in India are in "extreme pain" and the economy is still below the 2019 levels, Nobel laureate economist Abhijit Banerjee said on Saturday.
He was virtually addressing students of Ahmedabad University during the varsity's 11th annual convocation which was also held online.
Sharing his observations from a recent visit to West Bengal, Banerjee, speaking from the US, said "small aspirations" of people have become even smaller now.
"You (students) are in a place where you can give back. Society really needs it. We are in a time of extreme pain in India.
"I just spent some time in rural West Bengal and stories you hear about, you know, all the aspirations that have been a little bit dashed are very real....small aspirations which became smaller now," he said.
"I think that we are in a moment of great pain. The economy is still well below as against what it was in 2019," Banerjee said.
"We don't know how much below, but it is substantially below. And I am not blaming anybody, I am just saying," said the economist who won the Nobel Prize along with Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer in 2019.
He also urged the students not to succumb to pressure from family or society in choosing their career paths, but have the "courage" to do what they really want to do in life.
He also informed the audience that he had spent 10 days in Tihar jail during his student days at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.
"When I was about to leave JNU and go to Harvard, I was in a student demonstration and then I was taken to Tihar jail, and kept there for ten days. When I came out, lots of elders told me that I have ruined my career, and Harvard or the US will never let you in. They thought I should be regretful," he said.
To make his point about choosing careers, Banerjee pointed out that two of India's great film-makers - Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal - were economics graduates but chose to walk a different path.
"Yet, they did fine in life. So, instead of specific training, what is really important is that you are a lively, thoughtful and open human being. That's the most important part," he said.
During the convocation, 833 students, including four doctoral students, of the private varsity were conferred degrees.

Security has been tightened in Mathura to avoid any untoward incident ahead of December 6, the date on which the Babri mosque was demolished in Ayodhya in 1992, officials said on Saturday.
Four right-wing groups, the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, Srikrishna Janmabhumi Nirman Nyas, Narayani Sena and the Srikrishna Mukti Dal, had earlier sought permission to install a Krishna idol at the deity's "actual birthplace", which they claimed is in a mosque close to a prominent temple here on December 6.
District Magistrate Navneet Singh Chahal had turned them down, saying the question of granting permission to any event that may potentially disrupt peace does not arise.
One of the groups had said that it would install the idol in the Shahi Idgah after a "maha jalabhishek" to "purify" the place.
In view of these, Mathura was divided into three zones for security purposes, the officials said, adding that the area in which the Katra Keshav Dev temple and the Shahi Idgah falls has been demarcated as the red zone, where the deployment of security personnel is the highest.
"Adequate force has also been deployed at every entry point of Mathura," Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Grover said.
He said checking at these entry points has been intensified.
Prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC are already in place in Mathura. The section prohibits the assembly of four or more people in an area.
The threat to perform the ritual inside the Shahi Idgah comes at a time when the local courts are hearing a series of petitions seeking the "removal" of the 17th century mosque.
President of Shahi Idgah committee professor Z Hasan, however, said that he has been living in Mathura for over 50 years and has always found the environment cordial and affectionate.
The suits seeking the shifting of the mosque is pending in courts, and their judgement will be honoured, committee members of the mosque said.

Bickering among the coalition partners in the ruling National Democratic Alliance has come to fore again ahead of the general elections. As PM Narendra Modi attend a function, where he released a postal stamp dedicated to Maharaja Suheldev in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur, leaders of two NDA constituents skipped the event. While Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party President OP Rajbhar, who is also a minister, opted out claiming Maharaja Suheldev’s full name wasn’t written on the stamp, another constituent Apana Dal accused the BJP of disrespecting the smaller parties in Uttar Pradesh.

Security forces opened fire on civilians killing 14 and injuring 11 more in Nagaland's Mon district in three consecutive incidents of firing the first of which was possibly a case of mistaken identity, police said on Sunday. One soldier also died in rioting which followed.
The first firing which killed six civilians, occurred when army personnel mistook coal mine workers returning home in a pick-up van singing songs on Saturday evening, to be insurgents belonging to the Yung Aung faction of the banned outfit NSCN (K), about whose movements they had been tipped off.
As workers failed to reach their homes, local youth and villagers went in search of them and surrounded the army vehicles. In the ensuing melee one soldier was killed and army vehicles burnt down. Soldiers who fired in self-defence killed another seven civilians, said police officials.
Rioting spilled over into Sunday afternoon when angry mobs vandalised the offices of the Konyak Union and an Assam Rifles camp in the area, setting fire to parts of the camp. At least one more person was killed and another two injured, as security forces fired back at attackers.
The angry mob has been demanding immediate action against security force personnel involved in the firing.
The Nagaland government through a notification has banned mobile, internet and data services as well as bulk SMS in the district to curb "circulation of inflammatory video's, pictures or text".
Videos of mob vandalizing the Konyak Union office in Mon and the Assam Rifles camp are however circulating on social media despite the ban on internet services in the district.
Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio who rushed back from Delhi on Sunday will visit the affected district on Monday.
Police said that the post-mortem of those killed is being conducted in Mon and feared that the number of fatalities may increase as at least two of those injured were critical and had to be evacuated to hospitals in Assam while the rest were being treated in Nagaland.
Ordering a Court of Inquiry into the incident, Army said one of its personnel was killed and several others were seriously injured. It said that the incident and its aftermath is "deeply regretted" and the unfortunate loss of lives is being investigated at the highest level.
The state government has constituted a five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by IGP Nagaland, officials said.
PRO Defence (Kohima) Lt Col Sumit K Sharma said &ldquo;Based on credible intelligence of likely movement of insurgents, a specific operation was planned to be conducted in the area of Tiru, Mon District, Nagaland. The incident and its aftermath is deeply regretted.&rdquo; Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio promised a high-level probe into the incident and appealed to all sections of the society to maintain peace.
Mon shares a porous international border with Myanmar, where the Yung Aung faction of NSCN (K) is based.
Official sources said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen M M Naravane have been briefed about the incident.
&ldquo;SIT shall investigate the incident from all angles while a court of inquiry has been instituted against the army personnel involved,&rdquo; Jagdish Mukhi, Governor of Assam and Nagaland said in a statement, while appealing for peace.
Rio tweeted "the unfortunate incident leading to killing of civilians at Oting, Mon, is highly condemnable. Condolences to the bereaved families &amp; speedy recovery of those injured.&nbsp; High level SIT will investigate &amp; justice delivered as per the law of the land. Appeal for peace from all sections."
Home Minister Amit Shah too tweeted his anguish and expressed &ldquo;deepest condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives. A high-level SIT constituted by the State govt will thoroughly probe this incident to ensure justice to the bereaved families.&rdquo;
Reacting to the incident, Gandhi however pointed out in a post on social media "This is heart wrenching. GOI must give a real reply. What exactly is the home ministry doing when neither civilians nor security personnel are safe in our own land?"
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also demanded a thorough investigation and described it as a "worrisome news".
In protest against the incident, the Eastern Nagaland People's Organisaiton (ENPO) urged the six tribes of the region to withdraw participation from the ongoing Hornbill Festival, which is the state's biggest tourism extravaganza.
"While expressing deep sorrow and sadness over the indiscriminate firing by Indian security force where more than 10 daily wage laborers from Oting village were blatantly killed, the ENPO vehemently condemn the barbaric act of the security force," a release issued the organisation said.
The ENPO asked the six tribes to hoist black flags in their respective Morungs at Hornbill Festival venue Naga Heritage Village in Kisama near the state capital against the incident.
"It has to be understood by all concerned that this order/move is not against the State Govt., but to show resentment against the security forces who have committed this heinous crime, and to show solidarity of the 6 tribes," it said.
Abu Mehta, advisor to the chief minister, said that two minute's silence will be observed and prayers will be held at Kisama for those killed in the incident.
Meanwhile, the spate of civilian deaths due to firing by security forces has also led to renewed demands for withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Power) Act, 1958 from the Northeast.

The emergence of Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus has led to a lot of changes in travel guidelines for passengers arriving in India from abroad.
Here are the rules announced by the Indian govt for international arrivals in effect from December 1:
All international passengers will have to submit a travel history of the last 14 days on govt&rsquo;s Air Suvidha portal before the taking the flight to India. The travel history is a part of a self-declaration form.
Passengers travelling to India will also have to upload a negative RT-PCR report. The test should have been conducted within 72 hours prior to the journey.
Airlines will only be allowed to board passengers who have submitted their travel history and a negative RT-PCR test result.
All international passengers will have to undergo thermal screening on arrival at an Indian airport and those who are found symptomatic will be immediately isolated and taken to a medical facility. If they test positive, standard operation procedure like quarantine and tracing and testing of contacts will be followed.
All travellers from &lsquo;at risk&rsquo; countries listed by the govt will have to submit a sample for a Covid-19 test on arrival at the airport. They will have to wait at the airport till the report comes. The cost for these tests will have to be borne by the passengers.
According to the govt list, at risk countries are the European countries, the UK, South Africa, Brazil, Botswana, China, Mauritius, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Singapore, Hong Kong and Israel.
If they test negative, they will have quarantine at home for 7 days and do a re-test on the 8th day.
If the passenger tests positive at the airport, the sample will be sent for genome sequencing and they will be taken an isolation facility.
There are two kinds of Covid-19 tests that the passengers can choose from &ndash; the standard RT-PCR test and what is being called a rapid PCR test. Passengers can also pre-book this test.
While the RT-PCR takes about 4 hours for the report to come and is cheaper, the rapid PCR tests takes 30 mins to 45 mins but costs more.
Several airports like Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai have reduced the price of the rapid PCR by Rs 500-600 since more people are opting for it as it is quicker. But the test still costs more than Rs 3000.
Passengers arriving from countries not in the &lsquo;at risk&rsquo; list will be allowed to leave the airport and self-monitor themselves for 14 days.
Random testing of international arrivals will also be done at the airports. The govt will pay for these random tests.
However, India is not entirely resuming regular international flights. The govt had announced that regular international flights would resume from December 15 but it was put on hold due to the Omicron variant.
Currently international passengers flights operations are mainly restricted to countries India has air bubble agreements with.

State president of the BJP unit in Nagaland Temjen Imma Along has said that he was devastated by the killing of 13 civilians on Saturday evening by the Assam Rifles in Mon district. 
Calling it a massacare in a statement, Along said that there can never be any justification for such targeting of innocent civilians. 
“There can never be any justification for such kind of massacre targeting innocent civilians. The innocent victims were labourers returning from a hard day’s work and were not armed with any firearms whatsoever. It is, therefore, tantamount to war crimes during peace time and amounts to summary execution as well as genocide,” Along said. 
"Assam Rifles personnel responsible for this heinous crime have to be brought to justice and made to answer truthfully as to how innocent, unarmed persons were gunned down," he added. 
In the statement, Along said that the incident was a discouragement for the Naga people. 
“This incident is a very big discouragement to the Nagas as a whole, especially at a time when one of our very own Konyak Naga sons from the Tizit area itself was martyred in an ambush in Manipur, not even a month back. Why do you kill our sons when our sons are also the ones making supreme sacrifices for the country?” he asked.
