In Jharkhand, a tense standoff unfolded on Monday as students breached police barricades during their march towards the state assembly, demanding a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in various recruitment examinations. The opposition leader, Babulal Marandi, accused the government of distracting people instead of addressing the students' concerns and demanded immediate action. Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including Aditya Sahu, were detained by police during a sit-in protest outside the Chief Minister's residence over the same issue. The students have been on hunger strike for nearly two weeks, but the government has allegedly been dragging its feet on their demands. As talks between the government and the protesters remain unsuccessful, the students plan to continue their peaceful march towards the assembly, prompting security personnel to deploy in riot gear at the protest site. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is currently investigating a case related to alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) examination, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
