Ranchi: All three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) resigned on Sunday, August 9, amid the massive protests over the alleged irregularities in recruitment tests conducted by the agency.
The resignations came after the CID summoned the three members for questioning in connection with the allegations of irregularities, including paper leaks.
Nineteen people have so far been arrested in connection with the alleged irregularities in JPSC examinations, while Khiangte has been questioned four times since July 28.
‘Vested interests working at full force’Elsewhere, Chief Minister Hemant Soren assured justice to the protesters even as he alleged that vested interests were working at full force to disrupt democracy in the state.
Addressing Jharkhand Adivasi Mahotsav here, he said, “Unable to accept the state’s self-reliance, vested interests are working at full force in Jharkhand to disrupt democracy here.
