The Jharkhand Police's Criminal Investigation Department has arrested one accused in connection with irregularities during the Jharkhand Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination-2023 conducted by the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) in 2024. This brings the total number of arrests related to the case to ten since August 18, 2026.
Notable arrests include Kundan Kumar from Palamu district on September 6, Abhay Tiwari and his family members in late July and early August, as well as four successful candidates from the examination held in 2024. The Jharkhand government had initially announced the cancellation of various recruitment tests, including the JSSC-CGL-2023, following protests by job aspirants, but the Jharkhand High Court stayed the decision pending further investigation.
An ongoing Special Investigation Team probe by the Jharkhand CID is currently examining the alleged irregularities in the JSSC-CGL exam.
