The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) scam is taking an unexpected turn as 2016 batch IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar has gone missing since August 20 afternoon. Currently, the Managing Director of MSME, Gangwar is reportedly missing from Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. According to the police, he had purchased a flight ticket to New Delhi on Indigo Airlines using his HDFC credit card, paying ₹30,253 for the journey.
His mobile device has been switched off since he arrived at the airport, leaving his further whereabouts unknown. The sudden disappearance of Gangwar has raised questions, especially considering his previous association with the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) as an examination controller. The KPSC scam has been a hot topic of discussion, with recent developments including the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) raiding the tainted Chairman and other officials at over 18 premises.
The ED investigations have led to the exposure of alleged paper leaks and a resort training racket in the recruitment process. Based on the information provided by the ED, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has registered fresh FIRs against several officers, including Shantha Kumari, who was questioned by the SIT earlier on August 20 morning.
Gangwar's flight booking and sudden mobile shutdown have added a new layer of mystery to the already unfolding KPSC scam saga.
