Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has ordered the suspension of BPSC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh after a video of him making an objectionable remark during a press conference went viral on social media.
The chief minister took cognisance of the video and directed the General Administration Department to suspend Singh. The remark, allegedly made at a press conference, has triggered the action.
The suspension order is now being processed by the department. Further details are awaited.
The BPSC conducts the state's civil services and other competitive exams, and any controversy involving its officials can delay recruitment cycles that affect lakhs of candidates. In 2023, the commission faced protests over alleged paper leaks, and the state government has since been under pressure to ensure transparency. The disciplinary action against a senior officer mid-cycle signals an intent to restore confidence before the next round of exams. The suspension order is now with the General Administration Department, and the officer's reply will determine the next step.
