The Karnataka government has moved the investigation into the Karnataka Public Service Commission recruitment scam to the CID, amid allegations that veterinary officer posts were sold. The case has drawn political attention because it involves a major state recruitment body and questions over the fairness of appointments.
According to the available details, FIRs have named the suspended KPSC chairperson along with 29 candidates. The focus of the probe is the alleged irregular sale of posts linked to recruitment for veterinary officers, raising concerns about how the selection process was handled.
The BJP has reacted by calling for a CBI investigation instead of a CID-only probe. By seeking a central agency inquiry, the opposition is signaling that it wants a wider and more independent examination of the alleged wrongdoing in the KPSC recruitment case.
The development puts fresh scrutiny on recruitment practices in Karnataka and on the functioning of the Public Service Commission. With the CID now handling the matter and the BJP pressing for a CBI probe, the KPSC scam is likely to remain a significant political issue in the state.
