Govt takes note of 'irregularities' in police recruitment

Jharkhand government on Friday assured the state assembly that it has taken serious note of the alleged irregularities in the police recruitment process.

"We have taken it seriously and looking into it.

Deserving candidates will be appointed," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Prasad Singh said in the assembly.
