PSC exam irregularities: Crime Branch seeks documents
The Kerala Crime Branch is investigating alleged irregularities in Public Service Commission (PSC) recruitment exams, specifically regarding the State Planning Board. Investigators have requested sensitive documents from the PSC to verify claims of misconduct.
Why it matters
The investigation addresses concerns regarding the integrity of public sector recruitment, which is a critical issue for government transparency.
The special investigation team (SIT) probing the alleged examination irregularities in the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) has formally sought documents related to the controversial recruitment process from the constitutional body.
Investigators have sought records related to the controversial State Planning Board examinations, including the question paper, answer key, list of candidates who took the examination, details of those shortlisted for interviews, and information related to the on-screen marking process.
However, while the PSC has assured full cooperation towards the ongoing probe, it remains to be seen if the body shares the confidential records, considering the commission does not generally share sensitive examination-related documents with external agencies.
