Kerala Crime Branch Summons PSC Chairman Over Recruitment Exam IrregularitiesPreviousNext

The Kerala Crime Branch has issued a fresh summons to Kerala PSC Chairman M R Baiju to appear for interrogation on November 10, after he skipped a previous session citing a pending petition to quash the case. The investigation, led by a Special Investigation Team, focuses on irregularities in PSC recruitment exams, including unevaluated Economics answer sheets due to an On-Screen Marking system error. A re-evaluation altered candidate rankings, prompting broader probes and arrests of PSC officials.
