Police Clash with Job-Seekers Protesting Exam Fraud in India

Police in Ranchi, Jharkhand used water cannons, tear gas, and batons on August 10, 2026, to disperse thousands of young job-seekers marching on the state legislature. Protesters want a CBI — India's federal investigative agency — probe into alleged exam irregularities, including paper leaks and organized cheating. Both sides suffered injuries. The former chair of the state public service commission was arrested over the alleged fraud.
