Jharkhand CID Raids JSSC Office Amid Probe into Recruitment Exam IrregularitiesPreviousNext

The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has conducted raids at the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) office amid an ongoing probe into alleged recruitment exam irregularities. So far, 20 individuals, including former Jharkhand Public Service Commission chairman L Khiangte, have been arrested. These actions coincide with a 24-day protest by job aspirants demanding transparency and reforms in the recruitment process. Despite government efforts to engage with protesters, discussions have yet to resolve the issues.
