Rohit Pawar joins protesters on the last day of the protest on Sunday
The developments follow an 11-day protest by MPSC aspirants in Pune demanding Bhimanwar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the Drug Inspector recruitment exam. The students withdrew their agitation after govt assured them of an inquiry and Bhimanwar announced that he would stay away from the post until investigation was completed. Pune: Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) member Satish Baban Waghole has been given the additional charge of chairman after Vivek Bhimanwar was sent on compulsory leave pending an inquiry into alleged exam irregularities.
Some have sought the inclusion of the State Services Main Examination, 2025, the Forest Services Examination, 2025, and direct recruitment exams.
He said he would meet the judicial commission next week to submit evidence relating to the Group-B exams. We will ensure that no guilty person escapes scrutiny,” he said. Pawar also raised concerns about MPSC member Abhay Wagh and urged govt to examine his role. “We need to submit all possible evidence. Students should submit their evidence to student representatives or to us. The notified list has also prompted questions from aspirants about exams not explicitly included in the inquiry.
