Corroboration: 3 independent outlets (4 source reports)

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday (4 November) searched seven premises across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in a money-laundering probe over alleged irregularities in the APPSC Group-I Mains answer-script evaluation. The raids covered locations linked to former IPS officer and former APPSC secretary PSR Anjaneyulu, Camsign Media managing director P Madhusudhana Rao, and a resort in Guntur district where the evaluation was reportedly conducted. According to the SIT investigation, Camsign Media was paid Rs 1.14 crore to evaluate answer scripts but allegedly retained them for 84 days and engaged 66 unqualified persons to transfer predetermined marks onto OMR sheets. Anjaneyulu has maintained that the decision to conduct manual evaluation was taken collectively in compliance with High Court directions. The allegations remain under investigation.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All three outlets report the same basic facts, seven premises searched, an IPS officer under scrutiny, and Rs 1.14 crore allegedly paid to Camsign Media for manual evaluation of APPSC answer scripts, making this uniform straight reporting. However, The Times of India provides the most operational detail, naming the SIT findings that 66 unqualified persons were engaged and that answer scripts were retained for 84 days, and alone includes the defence that the evaluation decision was taken collectively under High Court direction. Rediff and The Economic Times give a shorter account focused on the IPS officer’s background as a 1992-batch officer, omitting the scale of alleged irregularities.
