RANCHI: JPSC-JSSC aspirants remained defiant after police resorted to a lathi charge for the third time on Monday evening to disperse students protesting outside the Jharkhand Assembly in Ranchi. The demonstrators vowed to continue their widespread agitation over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and firmly demanded a CBI probe into the matter. Clashes, Injuries, and Allegations of BrutalityDemonstrators expressed outrage over the heavy-handed police response, particularly alleging that female protesters were targeted. “You are resorting to lathi charge on your own children… You are running away from a CBI investigation, running away from an ED investigation,” Seth remarked. BJP MPs Sanjay Jaiswal, Mayank Nayak, and Dinesh Sharma strongly condemned the state government, demanding immediate engagement with the students.
