CID probe found most JSSC exam answers leaked
ETGovernment··4 Aug
Protesting job aspirants in Ranchi say a CID investigation into the JSSC-CGL exam found that answers to 135 of 150 questions had been leaked, with 120 matching the paper exactly. They allege the Jharkhand government is using the same agency to whitewash a recruitment scam despite documentary evidence shared through emails and WhatsApp. Authorities have not responded to these allegations.
