Police Use Force on Students Protesting JSSC Exam Irregularities

Protesters Detained Near Commission Office as Tensions Escalate in Ranchi

Key Points:

RANCHI – Police conducted a lathi-charge to disperse students protesting alleged irregularities in the JSSC-CGL recruitment exam.

Authorities imposed prohibitory orders near the commission office. Several protesters faced detention.

“The police used unnecessary force on peaceful protesters,” claimed a student leader.

Mounting Tensions

The protest follows recent Hazaribagh demonstrations. Thousands joined a statewide bandh earlier.

Meanwhile, authorities barricaded the JSSC office area. Section 163 restrictions covered a 500-meter radius.

Political Reactions

Former CM Babulal Marandi criticized the government’s response. He demanded transparency in recruitment.

Moreover, students highlighted result discrepancies. They noted suspicious qualification patterns across shifts.

Furthermore, a committee now investigates allegations. The Governor’s intervention prompted the inquiry.
