# Ranchi students storm assembly march, police book 600 2026-08-10T16:46:47+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On 10 August, thousands of students protesting alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams marched on the Jharkhand assembly in Ranchi. Police used water cannons, tear gas and batons to block them, but demonstrators broke through multiple security cordons. The protest, which has been ongoing for 17 days with some students on indefinite hunger strike, remains camped at Jaipal Munda Stadium. Police have registered an FIR against 600 protesters, 100 named and 500 unidentified. The state government says it has accepted 98 per cent of the students' demands. However, the students insist on a CBI investigation into the exam scam. The JPSC has been dissolved and its three members resigned. A key question remains unanswered: why did the CID not arrest senior officials named by the protesters? ## Coverage - aajtak.in - aajtak.in Tags: exam irregularities, Jharkhand, JPSC scam, JSSC scam, Ranchi, student protest Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ranchi-students-protest-in-massive-rally-against-exam-rigging/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
