Student wings of opposition parties forced closure of universities and colleges, paralyzing teaching and administrative works of Patna and Magadh University colleges in Patna on February 15, 2010.

Hundreds of students moved in procession and tried to enforce the closure to press for CBI probe into the death of two students during agitation against the coaching institutes in Patna last week.

They also demanded compensation of Rs 20 lakh to families of each of the dead students and a law to control the functioning of private coaching institutes in the Bihar.
