Three Jharkhand PSC Members Resign Amid Recruitment Exam Irregularity Protests

Analysed 9 Aug 2026·8 sources analysed·Jharkhand, India·Politics
Three Jharkhand PSC Members Resign Amid Recruitment Exam Irregularity ProtestsPreviousNext

All three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission—Ajita Bhattacharya, Anima Hansda, and Jamal Ahmed—resigned amid widespread protests over alleged irregularities, including paper leaks, in recruitment exams. Their resignations were accepted by Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar following CID summons. The state government responded by canceling several exams and announcing investigations, including fast-track courts and a judicial inquiry. While most student demands were met, the government declined a CBI probe into one exam, citing legal constraints. Nineteen arrests have been made in connection with the irregularities.
