  "account": "The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has revealed allegations that former Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) chairman Shivashankarappa Sahukar and member B V Geetha allegedly took bribes to leak answer keys for the veterinary doctors recruitment exam held on January 6. According to the ED's probe, Sahukar allegedly provided the keys to an aspirant in exchange for a Rs 10 lakh advance, granting the latter the third rank. Geetha allegedly supplied the keys to the first-rank winner for a Rs 20 lakh advance. The ED presented its findings to the court on Wednesday, stating that Sahukar and Geetha obtained the answer keys for 80 questions prepared for the entrance exam from Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, the former KPSC Controller of Exams and IAS officer, and supplied them to up to six candidates. The ED has also found that Geetha provided the names of six aspirants to Gangwar, who then arranged for the answer keys for those candidates. Four other candidates - the eight, ninth, 11th, and 12th rank winners - were also allegedly given access to answer keys by Sahukar and Geetha. The ED counsel emphasized that this case involved the leakage of answer keys, rather than the leakage of questions, as seen in previous cases. The ED has remanded Sahukar and Geetha to custody until October 19 for further investigation into other monetary transactions involving the accused.",
