CID Investigates Multiple Alleged Recruitment Irregularities at Karnataka Public Service CommissionNext

The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) is under investigation for alleged recruitment irregularities involving multiple cases. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is probing three FIRs, including recruitment of veterinary officers and alleged favoritism toward relatives of KPSC members. Key suspects include suspended IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar and KPSC member Shanta Hosamani, who is currently evading authorities. Political allegations have been made but remain unsubstantiated, with officials denying involvement. The CID continues to examine exam records and selection processes to uncover potential manipulation.
