Student protests erupted in Ranchi, Jharkhand, over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations, including the JSSC Combined Graduate Level Exam. Demonstrators demanding an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate faced police lathi-charges, water cannons, and tear gas outside the Vidhan Sabha. Student leader Devendra Nath Mahto was hospitalized following a nine-day hunger strike. The state government subsequently agreed to cancel three JPSC and JSSC examinations.
The unrest triggered political debate between BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo and Congress leader Salman Sose regarding youth unemployment, examination transparency, and central accountability. In addition, the All Kerala Lower Primary School Teacher Rank Holders Association held demonstrations outside the Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram demanding immediate recruitment. Broader news reports detailed severe monsoon weather, including cloudbursts in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, fatal stream drownings in Madhya Pradesh, and heavy flooding in Assam that impacted national karate champion Janmoni Konwar.
Amidst the clashes in Ranchi, police personnel and student protesters were documented sharing umbrellas during torrential rainfall.
