Kerala Police Register FIR and Probe Conspiracy in PSC Exam Irregularities
The Kerala Police Crime Branch's Special Investigation Team (SIT) has registered an FIR regarding irregularities in the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) recruitment exams, particularly for the state Planning Board. The SIT's probe, based on preliminary findings and forensic checks, suggests a possible conspiracy to manipulate exam evaluations, including exclusion of answers worth 54 marks for the top-ranked candidate. The investigation is expanding to cover political interference, question paper leaks, and evaluation anomalies in other exams like the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS).
