JPSC Ex-Chairman Arrested by CID Amid Paper Leak Protests

JPSC Ex-Chairman Arrested by CID Amid Paper Leak Protests

The Jharkhand Public Service Commission, called JPSC for short, organizes big exams in the Indian state of Jharkhand.

People who want government jobs must take these exams.

Someone found that the exam paper may have been leaked before the test.

Students were very upset and held protests.

The leader of the commission, called the chairman, was in charge at the time.

An investigation began into how the exam work was given to a company.

That company had been blacklisted, meaning it was not allowed to get such work.

The chairman quit his job on July 22.

Now, the police team called CID has arrested him.

The chairman's seat is still empty because no one new has been chosen yet.
