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.
