Jharkhand’s student protests intensified as police lathi-charged and tear-gassed demonstrators marching towards the state Assembly in Ranchi. The protesters are demanding action over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and seeking reforms in the state’s examination system. The confrontation came as security forces tried to prevent protesters from crossing barricades near the Assembly. Amid the escalating agitation, the former chairman of the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC), Sudhir Tripathi, was arrested in connection with an alleged recruitment examination paper-leak case. The developments have heightened tensions, with protesters continuing to demand accountability, transparent examinations and action against those responsible. (PC: X)
