Maharashtra Forms Committee to Probe MPSC Irregularities as Aspirants End Protest
MPSC aspirants in Pune ended their 10-11 day protest after the Maharashtra government formed a committee to investigate alleged recruitment irregularities, including paper leaks. The panel, chaired by former judge Dilip Bhosale with IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe as secretary, will complete its inquiry within 60 days. MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar proceeded on leave during the investigation. Protesters demanded reforms, recruitment for 70,000 posts, withdrawal of cases against agitators, and background checks on commission officials. The government agreed to most demands but did not immediately decide on Bhimanwar's removal.
