Kerala PSC Chairman Summoned Again Amid Examination Irregularities Probe
The Crime Branch investigating Kerala PSC exam irregularities has issued a fresh summons to chairman M.R. Baiju, who had declined a second interrogation citing a pending High Court petition filed by the PSC to quash the case. Baiju is scheduled to appear on November 10. The probe revealed errors in the On-Screen Marking system affecting evaluation of Economics exam papers, leading to rank changes after revaluation. The investigation has expanded, resulting in arrests of PSC officials including the Deputy Secretary and Additional Secretary.
