Following a clash between students and police on August 21 in Ranchi, authorities have filed several FIRs against protest leaders and demonstrators. According to reports, one of the FIRs names Kunal Pratap Singh, Piyush Kumar, and Ravindra Paswan, leaders of the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, indicating their involvement in the incident.

In total, 14 individuals were named in one FIR, while 200 unnamed persons were implicated for allegedly obstructing government duties and violating route-chart norms. This information was provided by an official source.

In addition to these actions in Ranchi, reports have emerged of three more FIRs filed against 28 named and approximately 900 unnamed individuals in the regions of Giridih and Hazaribag. This follows the protests that triggered heightened tensions and arrests across Jharkhand.

The protests were aimed at demanding accountability for alleged irregularities in state recruitment examinations, signaling broader concerns among students regarding government processes.
