Ranchi The police lathi-charged and used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the student protesters in Ranchi today after they breached the barricades to reach the Jharkhand assembly. This despite Chief Minister Hemant Soren asserting that dialogue, not batons, can solve all problems at home. The state CID has also arrested Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC)'s former chairperson L Khiangte in connection with alleged irregularities in the recruitment tests.
Khiangte had resigned from the position on July 22. The arrest was made after thousands of students reached the assembly to press their demand for reforms in recruitment tests. Student leader Devendra Mahto, who is on a hunger strike, was also part of the march. As the cops brought out water cannons to stop the protesters, some students started dancing while facing the gushing water, evoking familiar scenes from the NEET protests in Patna.
