Karnataka Grants Police Station Status to SIT Investigating KPSC Recruitment Scam
The Karnataka government has officially designated the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment scam as a police station with statewide jurisdiction. This move follows a Karnataka High Court directive to operationalise the SIT and facilitate the transfer of investigation records from the Criminal Investigation Department. The SIT is investigating cases involving alleged irregularities in veterinary doctor recruitment and appointments linked to former KPSC chairman Shivashankarappa S Sahukar's family. The court is reviewing objections to the SIT's composition and is expected to issue further orders.
