The Enforcement Directorate has taken into custody a former chief medical officer of Chhattisgarh over allegations of tampering with the state public service commission’s recruitment exam.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced that a former chief medical officer (CMO) of Chhattisgarh has been arrested in connection with a suspected manipulation of the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) recruitment examination.
According to the agency, the official is alleged to have interfered with the conduct of the CGPSC exam, potentially influencing the selection of candidates for government posts. Such interference, if proven, undermines the integrity of the merit‑based selection process that the commission is mandated to uphold.
The ED has not disclosed the exact nature of the evidence but said the investigation is ongoing and that the accused will be produced before a court. No further details about the alleged scheme or other persons involved have been released at this stage.
State authorities have confirmed that they are cooperating with the central investigative agency and have pledged to ensure that any irregularities in the examination process are thoroughly examined.
