Jharkhand CID Arrests Ninth Person in JSSC-CGL Exam Irregularities Case
The Jharkhand Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested Sameer Kumar from Giridih district in connection with alleged irregularities in the 2024 Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination. This marks the ninth arrest since August 18, including the main accused Abhay Tiwari and his family members. The state government had canceled several recruitment exams following protests, but the Jharkhand High Court stayed the cancellation of some exams, including the JSSC-CGL, after successful candidates challenged the decision. A Special Investigation Team continues probing the case.
