The record
Written from the 5 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Former Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) President L. Khyangte resigned after authorities conducted raids and alleged he was involved in a recruitment exam cheating racket where seats were reportedly sold for up to 40 lakh rupees.
- The scandal triggered widespread student protests across Jharkhand, now in their 10th day, with some candidates on indefinite hunger strike demanding cancellation of the 14th JPSC Preliminary Test and a CBI investigation into alleged paper leaks in both JPSC and JSSC exams.
- Coverage highlights the students' anger and their backing from the Cockroach Janta Party, while some commentary questions political double standards on paper leaks across Indian states.
- The resignation of the JPSC chief signals institutional accountability but has not yet calmed protesters, who want an independent probe.
- Watch whether the state government orders a CBI inquiry or a judicial probe, and whether the 14th JPSC Prelims are officially scrapped.
What to watch next
- Whether state orders CBI or judicial probe into JPSC/JSSC leaks
- Fate of 14th JPSC Preliminary Test — cancellation or re-exam
- Health status of hunger-striking students
- Political fallout for ruling party in Jharkhand
