The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested two individuals, former Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) chairman Shivashankarappa S Sahukar and KPSC member BV Geetha, in connection with a money laundering case related to irregularities in the veterinary officers recruitment exam in Karnataka. The arrests were made following a search operation at their residences.
Both will be presented before a special PMLA court. The arrests follow earlier ones of Basavaraj Kannale and KPSC's then Examination Controller IAS Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, who were accused of leaking the question paper in exchange for illegal bribes. The ED has also conducted searches at 21 locations across Karnataka and Gujarat, including the KPSC office, suspended chairman Sahukar's residence, and the company responsible for digital evaluation of exam papers.
The investigation was initiated following four FIRs registered with the Vidhana Soudha Police Station, alleging severe irregularities in the final selection of veterinary officers' recruitment exam.
