Ramgarh (Jharkhand): The Ramgarh district administration in Jharkhand ordered a probe into alleged tampering of computer sets, which were to be used for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) scheduled on April 2, an official said on Tuesday.

Three persons have been arrested in connection with the case, and a manhunt has been launched to nab others involved, he said.
