Jharkhand CID arrests one accused in JSSC-CGL exam irregularities case; 10 held so far

The Jharkhand Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested an individual named Kundan Kumar in connection with alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC)-Graduate Level Combined Competitive Examination (CGL) of 2023, which was conducted in 2024. This brings the total number of arrests to 10 since August 18, 2026. The accused include former candidates, officials, and family members linked to the case. The Jharkhand government had previously canceled several recruitment exams, including the JSSC-CGL-2023, after protests over alleged exam misconduct. However, the Jharkhand High Court temporarily halted the cancellation order at the request of successful candidates concerned about losing their jobs. A Special Investigation Team within the CID is currently investigating the matter.
