After JPSC, the JSSC-CGL exam has also been cancelled. Chief Minister Hemant Soren informed the media about this on Monday night. The CM took this decision after a 4-hour long meeting with his ministers. CM Soren said,
Many shocking facts have come to light in the investigations of both SIT and CID. Since the investigation is ongoing, it is not possible to disclose everything openly. It involves a complex and interconnected network of several companies that have worked here at different times. All examinations conducted from 2014 till now will be investigated by the CID.
The CM further said that the biggest and most important demand of the youth is related to the JPSC Civil Services Examination. We will conduct a full investigation into this under the supervision of a retired judge.

After the CM’s announcement, student leader Devendra Nath Mahto, who was protesting, said,
The most important thing is that the investigation should be very thorough and every corrupt person involved should be caught. The masterminds behind these gangs should be apprehended.
