The Jharkhand Excise Constable recruitment physical tests have been suspended for three days following the deaths of several candidates, with reported figures varying between 11 and 15. Chief Minister Hemant Soren has ordered an investigation and formed a committee of health experts to determine the cause of these deaths, which range from mismanagement to potential health issues or sedative use. The Chief Minister also announced additional measures, such as providing health check-ups, breakfast, and starting tests earlier in the day to avoid heat. Despite claims of adequate facilities, many candidates and the BJP youth wing allege mismanagement and insufficient medical support. Investigations are ongoing, with post-mortem reports awaited. The recruitment process, initially involving over 500,000 candidates for 583 posts, will resume after the investigation concludes.
