Kerala PSC Faces Investigation Over Examination Irregularities and Prosecution Challenge
The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) is under investigation following allegations of examination irregularities, including unevaluated answers and procedural lapses in multiple recruitment exams. The Crime Branch's Special Investigation Team is probing claims that PSC chairperson M.R. Baiju made unilateral decisions without consulting other members, including appointing interview board members. The Kerala High Court has reserved its order on KPSC's challenge to prosecution sanctions related to these irregularities, with concerns raised about delays in responding to RTI requests and the commission's internal divisions.
