The Jharkhand CID also arrested former JPSC chairperson L Khiangte in connection with the alleged irregularities in the recruitment examinations, a top official of the state probe agency said. Mahto said the agitation was for the future of lakhs of students in Jharkhand, and alleged that the administration was attempting to suppress their movement. The students have been agitating in the state since July 25, demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations, particularly the JSSC-CGL (Jharkhand General Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination). The agitators are also demanding comprehensive reforms in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Higher and Technical Education Minister Sudivya Kumar said the government had also voluntarily agreed to an ED probe, after evidence of financial irregularities emerged.
