11 booked after Jharkhand High Court stay on exam cancellation sparks protests, clash

Eleven people, including a coaching teacher, have been booked following a clash during a protest in Ranchi against the Jharkhand High Court's stay on the cancellation of several recruitment examinations and appointments. The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, one of the two factions leading recent protests over alleged recruitment exam irregularities, organized the protest to burn effigies of Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi across all 24 districts of Jharkhand.

The protest took place a day after the high court stayed a state government order cancelling recruitments through the 11th to 13th JPSC Combined Civil Services, Food Safety Officers (FSO), the JSSC Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) and Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) exams.
