Karnataka High Court Constitutes SIT to Investigate KPSC Recruitment Irregularities
The Karnataka High Court has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by DGP Alok Kumar to probe alleged recruitment irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), particularly involving veterinary officer posts. The SIT will take over from the CID and complete its investigation within 100 days, submitting monthly progress reports. The court declined a CBI probe and directed cooperation with the Enforcement Directorate, which is investigating related money laundering. The probe covers alleged exam manipulation, nepotism, and financial irregularities, with suspended KPSC chairperson Shivashankarappa S Sahukar among the accused.
