Indian Police Break Up March Over Cheating in Government Job Exams

On August 10, 2026, police in Ranchi, Jharkhand used water cannons, tear gas, and batons against thousands of young people marching on the state legislature. The marchers want India's top investigative agency to examine cheating in government hiring tests — including leaked exam papers. Protesters and officers were hurt. The former head of the state's hiring board was arrested over the scandal.
