Jharkhand CID Arrests One Accused in JSSC CGL Exam Irregularities CasePreviousNext

The Jharkhand Crime Investigation Department (CID) arrested Sameer Kumar from Giridih district in connection with alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC CGL) examination. This follows three FIRs filed by Ranchi Police after violent clashes during a protest involving effigy burning of the Chief Minister. Authorities named 14 individuals and booked over 200 unidentified persons. The protest was organized by the JPSC-JSSC Reform Forum against the High Court's stay on the cancellation of certain JPSC exams.
