WHAT HAPPENED

Police in Jharkhand opened fire with water cannons against students who were marching toward the state Assembly in a live protest over alleged irregularities in the Jharkhand PSC examinations.

According to reports from The Hindu and the Times of India, the protest was met with a lathi charge and the use of water cannons, leading to at least four injuries. Students, led by senior leader Mahato who described the event as a “day of revolution,” continued to march and reportedly began dancing as a form of protest. NDTV’s editor has announced a probe into the PSC exam irregularities that sparked the demonstrations.

The demonstrations come after the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) was accused of irregularities in recruitment exams for the JPSC and JSSC, prompting widespread student agitation.
