Enforcement Directorate Probes Jharkhand PSC Exam Irregularities Amid Student Protests
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated a probe into alleged irregularities and suspected financial transactions linked to the Jharkhand Public Service Commission's 14th Preliminary Examination and other recruitment exams. This follows a CID-registered FIR and ongoing student protests demanding a CBI investigation. The Hemant Soren-led government has accepted most student demands but rejected calls to cancel the JSSC-CGL exam or order a CBI probe. Several JPSC members resigned amid the controversy, and students continue to plan protests at the state Assembly.
