Karnataka Probes KPSC Recruitment Irregularities Amid Arrests and Candidate ConcernsPreviousNext

The Karnataka government is investigating alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment exams, including the arrest and suspension of IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar. Home Minister Priyank Kharge has assured a thorough, impartial probe without evidence dilution. Candidates who passed the exams oppose a re-examination, urging protection for those not involved in malpractice. The CID has frozen 17 bank accounts linked to key suspects and continues probing financial transactions related to the case.
