  "account": "The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department (CID) apprehended two more individuals on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in connection with alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations held by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Dilip Kumar Paswan, a 41-year-old resident of Bihar's Jamui district, was arrested for allegedly providing unfair advantages to candidates in the JSSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination-2023. This arrest brings the total number of people apprehended by the CID for the irregularities to 13. Additionally, a coaching centre operator, Sanjit Kumar, from Ranchi, was arrested in connection with irregularities at recruitment exams conducted by the JPSC. Kumar, a resident of Ratu Road under Sukhdeo Nagar police station area, has been remanded to judicial custody. Over 20 people, including former JPSC chairman L Khiangte, have been arrested in the case since July 25, when job aspirants protested demanding the cancellation of the examinations and a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities. The State government later cancelled several recruitment exams, including JSSC-CGL-2023, following the protests. However, the Jharkhand High Court stayed the government's decision after a petition was filed by successful candidates.",
