KPSC Temporarily Halts Veterinary Officer Recruitment Amid Allegations and Inquiry
The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) has temporarily stayed the selection list for veterinary officers amid allegations of exam irregularities, including answer sheet tampering, nepotism, and bribery. An FIR names suspended KPSC Chairman Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar, other officials, and selected candidates. The KPSC formed an internal inquiry committee to review the recruitment process and submit a report within a week. Opposition leaders have called for a CBI or judicial probe, citing concerns over the commission's credibility. Protests by veterinary doctors demand a transparent investigation.
