The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has traced a Rs 92 lakh money trail in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) veterinary recruitment scam. Investigators allege candidates received 60, 80 questions from the exam paper before the test. A network of candidates and middlemen is being probed.
The CID's investigation follows complaints about irregularities in the KPSC veterinary recruitment process. The alleged paper leak has affected candidates who took the exam fairly. The CID is now working to identify all beneficiaries and middlemen involved in the scam.
The investigation is ongoing, with the CID expected to file a chargesheet in the coming weeks. The Karnataka government has said it will take strict action against anyone found guilty.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scandal is the latest in a series of exam paper leaks that have plagued Karnataka's recruitment boards, including the 2022 Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) gazetted probationers paper leak. The Rs 92 lakh money trail suggests candidates paid middlemen substantial sums, likely exceeding the annual salary of the veterinary posts themselves. Under the Indian Penal Code, the accused face charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating, which can carry sentences of up to seven years. The CID will now attempt to trace the original source of the leak inside the KPSC printing or distribution chain, a task that has historically been difficult in such cases. The next development to watch is whether the CID arrests any KPSC officials.
