The protesting students have been demanding cancellation of the JSSC-CGL exam conducted in September 2024, claiming that “out of 135 questions, 120 were leaked”.

Khiangte was appointed as JPSC chairman in February last year after he retired as the state's chief secretary.
He was arrested on August 10, a day after all three JPSC members resigned amid massive protests by aspirants over the alleged irregularities in recruitment tests conducted by the agency.
