Senior Jharkhand Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth on Saturday (August 22, 2026) slammed the Hemant Soren government over the alleged attack on students and protesters by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) workers during effigy-burning protests in a few districts on August 21.
While condemning the alleged attacks on students and the lathi-charge by JMM workers, he demanded a CBI probe into all recruitment examinations conducted in Jharkhand over the last six years, including those conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).
“Innocent students were assaulted by JMM goons and subjected to lathi-charges by the police - in Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Giridih, and Garhwa. When students went to hospitals for treatment, they were beaten and driven away,” Mr. Seth said while addressing a press conference at the party office.
