The Story in Brief
The Crime Investigation Department (CID) has summoned all three sitting members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) in connection with alleged irregularities in competitive exams for government recruitment. The summoned members are Dr Ajita Bhattacharya, Dr Anima Hansda, and Dr Jamal Ahmed. They have been asked to appear before the agency on August 10, 12, and 14, respectively.
The investigation focuses on why TSR Data Processing Private Limited (TDPL), a Lucknow-based firm blacklisted by the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission in May 2025, was empanelled to conduct JPSC exams. So far 19 people have been arrested, including TDPL employees and JPSC staff. Former JPSC chairman L Khyiangte has been questioned four times. The CID is investigating whether serving members agreed to release PT exam results without their signatures.
The Indian Opinion
Headlines scream 'exam paper leak' but the CID summons suggests a deeper rot: agencies blacklisted in one department getting contracts in another. Students are angry, but the real question is who in the system let TDPL keep its franchise after being caught once. The CID must now establish whether the current three members were complicit or complicit by silence. When a blacklisted firm keeps winning state contracts, honest paperwork is no alibi.
