Jharkhand High Court orders CID probe into teacher recruitment scam, demands arrests

The Jharkhand High Court has ordered the State CID to investigate alleged malpractice during the secondary school teacher recruitment exams. According to court proceedings, the examination for both Paper-I and Paper-II was conducted between January 15 and February 22, with Paper-II determining the merit list. The court held that those responsible for compromising the selection process should be brought to justice, as successful candidates would later teach future generations including those who may hold important positions.

The court directed the Chief Secretary to lodge an FIR against unknown culprits and instructed the commission to conduct a thorough investigation, with appointments subject to criminal investigation outcomes.
