Jharkhand protest: ED files case to probe irregularities in JPSC examinations
Jharkhand protest: The Enforcement Directorate reportedly took cognisance of a state police CID FIR and some other complaints to initiate a probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched an investigation into alleged irregularities in the conduct of recruitment examinations in Jharkhand, specifically the JSSC-CGL examination. The move comes after large-scale protests by students and job aspirants demanding the cancellation of several JPSC and JSSC examinations and a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities.
The Jharkhand government has agreed to cancel three examinations and has initiated investigations by the CID and ED into the irregularities. However, the government has rejected the demand for a CBI probe into the JSSC-CGL examination, proposing instead an expert panel and a committee headed by a retired high court judge to examine the issue.
Protesters remain committed to their demands for a CBI probe and the cancellation of the JSSC-CGL examination.
