Hyderabad: The BRS has urged the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TGPSC) to order an independent high-level inquiry into the Group-I recruitment process, citing reports that a significant number of recently selected candidates failed foundational training examinations at the Telangana State Police Academy (TGPA).
The leaders said that nearly 35 percent of trainee Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) selected through the Group-I recruitment process reportedly failed academy examinations despite undergoing training for several months.
The BRS said that such a high failure rate raises serious questions about the integrity of the recruitment and evaluation process. Referring to earlier litigation over the Group-I examination, Sravan said that while the Telangana High Court and later the Supreme Court declined to interfere with the recruitment process, those decisions were based on the material available at that time. The party leader said that the alleged poor performance of selected candidates in training constitutes new evidence that merits fresh scrutiny by the Commission.
Sravan asked the commission to constitute an independent inquiry panel headed by a sitting High Court judge, collection and examination of academy performance records, preservation of examination-related evidence, and publication of inquiry findings. BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan and other leaders Gellu Srinivas Yadav met TGPSCL chairman Burra Venkatesham on Tuesday and submitted a representation.
