Supreme Court Receives Plea for CBI Probe and Fresh Exam in Jharkhand JPSC ControversyPreviousNext

The Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) exam controversy involves alleged irregularities in the 2025 preliminary examination, prompting CID investigations and student protests. The CID has summoned three current JPSC members and arrested 19 individuals linked to the case, including a key outsourcing firm manager. A Public Interest Litigation filed in the Supreme Court seeks cancellation of the exam and an independent CBI probe or a committee of retired judges to investigate the allegations and oversee a fresh exam. Students continue to demand transparency and accountability.
