Veteran actress Sonakshi Sinha has officially expressed solidarity with thousands of students protesting against alleged paper leaks and systemic corruption in state recruitment tests. Breaking her silence on the escalating crisis in Ranchi, Sinha shared a video documenting the large-scale demonstrations online. Expressing deep distress over the plight of candidates, she openly questioned the accountability of the examination system, stating, “It’s so disheartening to see students of our country go through this… when will it stop???”.
The public support from the high-profile actor amplifies an ongoing indefinite sit-in at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, where aspirants have gathered to protest irregularities under the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Driven to the streets by a viral OMR sheet showing a candidate passing despite minimal attempts, students are demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe and the immediate cancellation of the 14th JPSC Combined Preliminary Test.
Sonakshi Sinha’s direct intervention significantly elevates the nationwide visibility of the local agitation, challenging the relative quiet from mainstream prominent public figures on the state’s education emergency.
