Ananya Lohia , Patna - A protest against the alleged NEET paper leak in Bihar's Patna took an unexpected turn when students jokingly asked police to use a water cannon to help them cope with the scorching heat. The unusual moment soon went viral on social media.

In a widely shared video, protesters can be heard calling out to police, saying, "Police Sir, why is the water cannon not being used on us? It's too hot here." Moments later, police sprayed water at the crowd. Instead of dispersing, many students began dancing on the road, turning the protest into a cheerful spectacle.

The clip quickly gained traction online, with social media users sharing memes and humorous reactions. One user joked that the scene reflected "peak Gen Z behaviour," while another quipped, "For the tear gas experience, you'll have to go to Delhi."
