Karnataka High Court Forms SIT to Probe KPSC Recruitment Irregularities
The Karnataka High Court has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by DGP Alok Kumar to probe alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission's recruitment of veterinary officers. The SIT will take over from the CID, with a 100-day deadline to complete the investigation and submit progress reports every 30 days. The court declined to transfer the case to the CBI and directed cooperation among agencies, allowing the SIT to investigate all related offenses. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar questioned the court's naming of the SIT head, asserting the government’s prerogative in officer appointments.
