The Karnataka Chief Minister has approved an accelerated investigation into alleged KPSC exam malpractices and promised stringent legal measures to uphold transparency in government recruitment.
The Karnataka Chief Minister announced official approval to fast‑track an inquiry into alleged irregularities in recent Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) examinations.
The move aims to safeguard transparency in the state's government job recruitment process, which has faced criticism over alleged manipulation and favoritism.
The CM emphasized that any officials found complicit will face strict legal action, signalling a broader push for administrative reforms and anti‑corruption measures.
The KPSC, responsible for conducting civil service exams, is expected to cooperate fully with the investigation, which will be overseen by a special committee.
