Jharkhand CID Arrests Two More in JPSC and JSSC Recruitment Exam Irregularities

Analysed 15 Sept 2026·9 sources analysed·Jharkhand, India·Crime
Jharkhand CID Arrests Two More in JPSC and JSSC Recruitment Exam IrregularitiesPreviousNext

The Jharkhand CID has arrested two individuals—Sanjit Kumar, a coaching centre operator in Ranchi, and Dilip Kumar Paswan from Bihar—in connection with alleged irregularities in recruitment exams conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Paswan is accused of providing unfair advantages to candidates in the JSSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam. These arrests bring the total to 13 in the JSSC-CGL case and over 20 in the JPSC probe, which also includes former JPSC chairman L Khiangte. The state government had cancelled several exams following protests, but the High Court later stayed this decision.
