The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is investigating claims of malpractice in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) exams. Investigators have uncovered proof that the scores of a minimum of seven candidates were artificially increased after a payment of ₹5.8 crore. The probe suggests that the tactics used involved leaking answer keys, manipulating OMR sheets, and bumping up marks throughout the interview process.
