The deaths of candidates in the recruitment of Jharkhand Excise constables have raised a controversy. Two reasons are emerging for the deaths of the candidates. First, lack of practice and second, consumption of energy drinks or performance enhancing drugs. However, investigation is going on in this regard.
In fact, for the recruitment of constables in the state’s excise department, women candidates have to qualify by running 5 km in 40 minutes and male candidates have to run 10 km in 1 hour.
Doctors say that candidates who have not practiced for the physical test may face some problems. Because suddenly running can reduce the oxygen level along with the pressure in the body. Also, consuming substances like steroids or energy drinks can be quite harmful.
Commandant rank IPS officer Mukesh Kumar, who is looking after the recruitment of constables in Palamu, also said, candidates need to be patient. Do not take shortcuts. Taking energy drinks or medicines can also be a cause of death. At present, an investigation is being conducted in this matter. During the recruitment examination, the behavior of some candidates was strange.
Strange activities of candidates have been reported from Musabani in East Singhbhum. One candidate even bit the doctor’s hand during treatment. The doctor himself confirmed this. Watch Video:-
Other candidates who have qualified in this physical test believe that without practice, problems can arise and performance enhancing measures i.e. shortcuts can prove fatal.
