Crime Branch SIT to Probe Kerala PSC's Bid to Appoint SFI Leader as Deputy Police Officer

The Kerala Crime Branch has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to examine the Public Service Commission's (PSC) bid to appoint a leader of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP). The SIT will investigate whether the appointment process complied with statutory norms and whether any undue influence or irregularities were involved. The PSC had reportedly recommended the SFI leader for the DSP post, a move that has drawn scrutiny from political and civil society groups. The investigation will review the selection criteria, the candidate's qualifications, and the PSC's internal procedures. The SIT is expected to submit its findings to the state authorities within a stipulated timeframe.
