The Jharkhand student protest has escalated into a major political confrontation, with clashes in Ranchi involving water cannons, tear gas and lathi-charge as JPSC and JSSC aspirants continue to demand transparency and accountability over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. The situation intensified after protesters reached Vidhan Sabha Gate 1 and refused to move. According to the administration, intelligence inputs had flagged the possible presence of history-sheeters among the protesters. Following a meeting between the Chief Secretary and senior police officials, the administration decided to clear the area.
