The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department has taken three additional candidates into custody in connection with the JSSC CGL 2023 examination case, raising the total number of detainees to 19.
The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department (CID) announced that three more individuals, who had applied for the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2023 examination, have been arrested. The arrests are part of an ongoing probe into alleged irregularities and fraud surrounding the recruitment process.
According to the CID, the three newly apprehended candidates are now the latest additions to a group of 19 persons already held for their suspected involvement in the case. The investigation, which began after complaints of manipulation in the selection procedure, has focused on candidates who allegedly colluded to secure unfair advantages.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the charges or the evidence linking the detainees to the alleged scam. The CID continues to examine the examination records and interview witnesses to determine the extent of the misconduct.
The development was reported by ABP Live English, which cited official statements from the Jharkhand CID. No comment has been received from the accused or their legal representatives at this stage.
The case underscores the vigilance of state law‑enforcement agencies in safeguarding the integrity of public recruitment exams, a matter of significant public interest across India.
