Corruption Allegations Arise in Karnataka Veterinary Officer Recruitment Process
Allegations of corruption have emerged in Karnataka Public Service Commission's recruitment of 400 Veterinary Officers, with candidates accusing middlemen of demanding up to Rs 80 lakh for jobs. Protests and complaints have been lodged at Vidhana Soudha Police Station, urging a thorough investigation. The controversy follows the suspension of the former KPSC chairman over nepotism.
