  "account": "Jharkhand's Leader of the Opposition, Babulal Marandi, criticized the late-night visit by Ranchi Deputy Commissioner (DC) Manjunath Bhajantri and the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rakesh Ranjan to the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium protest site. The visit occurred after the 19th day of job aspirants' agitation over alleged irregularities in the State recruitment examinations. Marandi accused the officials of attempting to forcibly remove students by cutting off electricity. He condemned their \"undemocratic and reprehensible attitude,\" asserting that the government should conduct a CBI investigation into job selling and JPSC/JSSC irregularities. The students have lost faith in the government's assurances of a CID investigation. Bhajantri and Ranjan claimed their visit was to check on protesters and offer assistance, requesting students trust them to improve their living conditions.",
  "summary": "Ranchi’s Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri, on the other hand, said that he had visited to ask whether the protesters were facing any difficulties or not. He also asked the students to consider a practical, implementable next step",
