Students Demand Independent Inquiry as JPSC Controversy Escalates

Student representatives have intensified their demand for an independent probe after alleging that the JPSC and JSSC exams were riddled with fraud and post‑selling practices. The activists have presented admission cards of candidates who appeared for both exams to refute claims that the delegations were political proxies. They also dismissed rumors on social media about a planned encirclement of Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s residence on August 16, labeling such reports as misinformation. The movement, now anchored by the JPSC‑JSSC Reforms Forum, insists that no official statements be accepted unless they come from verified spokespersons, and they warned that protests will continue until all core demands are met.
