Karnataka IPS Officer Kushal Chouksey Transferred Amid KPSC Investigation
Karnataka IPS officer Kushal Chouksey, recently appointed to a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), was transferred to serve as Superintendent of Police in Chitradurga. The transfer occurred shortly after his SIT appointment and follows a recent reshuffle by the state government. The SIT, led by DGP Alok Kumar, was established by the Karnataka High Court to investigate recruitment irregularities, including allegations involving suspended KPSC Chairman Shivashankarappa S Sahukar. The ruling Congress government has faced criticism for its handling of the KPSC issues.
