The Jharkhand Crime Investigation Department (CID) carries out raids across several locations in Jharkhand as part of an investigation into an alleged JPSC exam scam. The Times of India reports raids in five districts, while NDTV says the CID raids take place amid public protests related to the matter.

Officials are investigating alleged irregularities connected to competitive examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC). NDTV reports that seven people are arrested during the CID operations. The raids and arrests are linked to allegations raised around the recruitment examination process, prompting disruption and demonstrations.

Across the outlets, there is agreement that the CID is actively conducting searches in multiple districts and that arrests are part of the probe. They differ mainly on how widely they frame the geographic scope (five districts in one account) and the emphasis placed on protests during the operations.
