The Jharkhand CID has arrested former JPSC chairperson L Khiangte over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations, according to multiple reports. The arrest follows an investigation that includes CID questioning of Khiangte and searches of multiple locations connected to the case.
All three reports link the arrest to a broader controversy around JPSC recruitment tests and ongoing protests by aspirants. The Hindu and NDTV note the timeline of the CID probe, while Free Press Journal adds additional details, including that Khiangte was questioned multiple times since late July and that CID has arrested 20 people in connection with the allegations. Free Press Journal also reports that all three JPSC members resigned a day earlier amid large-scale protests.
Differences in outlet emphasis are mainly on specifics: NDTV highlights that CID questioned Khiangte for nearly seven hours; The Hindu focuses on the arrest and the immediate resignation of JPSC members amid protests; Free Press Journal provides the most granular account of the arrest process, the resignation timing, and the increasing number of arrests. Khiangte is reported to have said his resignation was voluntary to support an impartial investigation.
