Chaos erupts in Ranchi: ABVP workers climb on police bus, protesters detained

Chaos erupted in Ranchi, India, as members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) clashed with police during intensified protests against alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand government's recruitment exams. The students are demanding the cancellation of the JSSC-Combined Graduate Level examination, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged irregularities, and reforms in the recruitment process.

Tuesday saw police detain several ABVP workers who had planned to march towards the Jharkhand Assembly. Amidst widespread chaos, some activists were seen climbing onto police vans. This confrontation followed a day after police reportedly lathi-charged students who were marching towards the Vidhan Sabha.

The protests highlight deep dissatisfaction among students regarding the recruitment exams conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). The demonstrators' demands underscore a call for transparency and fairness in the state's hiring processes.
