Karnataka: CID arrests IAS officer over irregularities in KPSC exam
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Sunday arrested IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar in connection with alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) examination for 400 veterinary officer posts, officials familiar with the matter said
The ongoing conflict between Union Industries and Steel Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Home Minister Priyank Kharge intensified on Sunday, as the former criticized the government for its inaction despite red flags in Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) appointments. According to Kumaraswamy, the government has not addressed the irregularities despite prior warnings from the KPSC Secretary.
He questioned why the then Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister allowed the appointment order to be issued within four months, highlighting the lack of response from the government. The Home Minister retaliated, accusing Kumaraswamy of not addressing specific issues raised earlier, such as the cancellation of a High Court and Supreme Court order regarding a 2011 gazetted probationary batch, and questioned the minister's visit to a former KPSC Chairperson's prison.
