Bora has emerged as one of the leading figures in the nationwide student protests against alleged examination irregularities. Last month, she carried out a 23-day hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar as part of the same student-led movement, an agitation that ultimately led to the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as Union education minister.
The video of Bora targeting the RSS went viral over the internet, with netizens exposing Bora. "SHOCKING NEWS - Instead of supporting students, Neha Aisa has started criticising RSS-BJP at protest site in Ranchi," one of the users said.
Background of Jharkhand protest
What began as a protest against irregularities in Jharkhand's recruitment examinations has now become a deeply emotional struggle for thousands of young aspirants who say they are fighting not just for a job, but for justice after years of hard work.
The protesters are seeking cancellation of the 14th JPSC Preliminary Test, an independent investigation into allegations of paper leaks, OMR discrepancies and other examination irregularities, as well as structural reforms to restore credibility to the state's recruitment process.
Addressing supporters, Mahto recalled that the movement began after the declaration of the 14th JPSC Preliminary Test results around a month ago. Since then, students have met Governor Santosh Gangwar and Chief Minister Hemant Soren, organised marches, burned effigies, submitted memoranda and provided evidence that eventually led to official action and arrests in connection with some allegations.
The march formed part of a wider student agitation over alleged paper leaks and irregularities linked to the 14th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) Civil Services Examination and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) exam. In the aftermath, Bora posted a picture of herself drenched in ink and claimed that "RSS-BJP goons" had targeted her along with roughly 20 other women present at the demonstration.
Taking to social media, she wrote, "For them ink is a tool to try to shame others; we will write the future with ink!" adding, "I wear this ink with pride." Visuals from the scene captured her face, neck, and clothing stained black with the liquid.
In conversation with reporters afterward, Bora further alleged that the man shouted "Jai Shri Ram" before being overpowered by fellow protesters and handed over to the police. While being taken away, the accused made his motive clear to reporters, saying, "I do not like Neha Bora because she supports Umar Khalid. I do not care about anything. I threw ink on her. They are all anti-nationals," according to PTI.

Background of Jharkhand protest
What began as a protest against irregularities in Jharkhand's recruitment examinations has now become a deeply emotional struggle for thousands of young aspirants who say they are fighting not just for a job, but for justice after years of hard work.
The agitation intensified on August 2, after student leader Devendra Nath Mahato launched an indefinite hunger strike at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in Ranchi, where hundreds of students have been staging a sit-in demanding transparency in recruitment examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).
The protesters are seeking cancellation of the 14th JPSC Preliminary Test, an independent investigation into allegations of paper leaks, OMR discrepancies and other examination irregularities, as well as structural reforms to restore credibility to the state's recruitment process.
Addressing supporters, Mahto recalled that the movement began after the declaration of the 14th JPSC Preliminary Test results around a month ago.
