KPSC 'scam' case ED raids IAS officer Gangwar's premises in Karnataka, UP
Gangwar is a 2016-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer and is currently posted as Director-MSME.
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted raids at the residential premises of IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar in Bengaluru on August 23, 2026, as part of an ongoing probe into alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment process. The officer had previously served as the Controller of Examinations at KPSC when a veterinary officer recruitment examination was conducted, which has been under the ED's scrutiny due to claims of large-scale irregularities.
Allegations suggest that candidates were asked to pay substantial amounts of money to participate in the recruitment process. The ED's actions come a day after Gangwar was traced to his hometown in Uttar Pradesh following an absence of nearly two days.
