Patna: The Bihar Sharif railway station was on Thursday vandalised by a group of protesters over the demand of employment in Indian Railways, as per ANI. 

On the other hand, a News18 report claimed that the protesters, believed to be Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) youth wing students, were angry at irregularities in Bihar Matric results and hence damaged the railway station.

The mob reportedly set ablaze some furniture and damaged the properties including vehicles parked outside the station, said the report. 

"The protesters torched properties in inquiry, parcel and booking offices and even looted booking cash," the Bihar Sharif railway station superintendent said.

The class 10th Bihar Board Matric results were announced on Thursday and the overall pass percentage turned out to be a mere 50%, which is way below that last year's 75%. 

More details awaited.
