Karnataka High Court Orders SIT Probe into KPSC Recruitment Irregularities
The Karnataka High Court has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by DGP Alok Kumar to probe alleged irregularities in the recruitment of 400 veterinary officers by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC). The SIT will take over from the CID and complete its investigation within 100 days, submitting progress reports every 30 days. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar welcomed the probe but questioned the court's naming of officers, asserting the government should decide appointments. The government is also exploring legal options to potentially shut down the KPSC amid corruption allegations.
