KPSC Faces Allegations of Recruitment Irregularities in Veterinary Officer Selection
The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) faces fresh allegations of a recruitment scam involving the sale of government jobs for up to Rs 80 lakh in the Veterinary Officer selection. Over 50 candidates have demanded a police investigation and cancellation of the recruitment if wrongdoing is confirmed. This controversy follows the suspension of KPSC's former Chairman over separate misconduct. While Congress protests NEET paper leak issues nationally, the recruitment scandal in Karnataka has drawn criticism and calls for transparency from multiple stakeholders.
