Former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi and BJP leader Aditya Sahu led a sit-in outside the Jharkhand Chief Minister’s residence on Monday, demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the JPSC and JSSC examinations. Meanwhile, students have been protesting and observing a hunger strike at a stadium for nearly two weeks, but allege that the state government is not addressing their concerns. The students marched from the Old Assembly building towards the New Assembly building, breaching police barricades during the demonstration. Security personnel were deployed at the protest site due to heightened tension. The BJP leaders were detained by the police while staging the protest. The Jharkhand government has failed to reach a consensus with the protesters after six rounds of talks, with students demanding a CBI probe, cancellation of the JSSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination, acceptance of a reform model, and adherence to the academic calendar suggested by the students. The Enforcement Directorate has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with the alleged irregularities in the JPSC examination. The protesters plan to march towards the Jharkhand Assembly, with security being tightened around the area in anticipation.
