Karnataka High Court Rejects Bail in KPSC Veterinary Recruitment Scam Investigation
The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) is under investigation for alleged recruitment irregularities involving the selection of 400 veterinary officers. Suspended KPSC chairman Sahukar Shivashankarappa, IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, and middleman Basavaraj Kannale are accused of leaking exam papers and manipulating results. The Karnataka High Court recently rejected Shivashankarappa's anticipatory bail plea, citing public loss of faith in the examination system. The CID continues probing, seeking other suspects like KPSC member Shanta Hosamani, amid political allegations and clarifications regarding separate cases.
