Karnataka government earlier suspended IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar due to KPSC

Karnataka government earlier suspended IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar due to KPSC recruitment irregularities.

Because this is a very big issue, kPSC itself has to be closed,. “We are also very serious. I actually want to tell you that I am speaking about this from a legal perspective. The chairman and others are involved, and we have received a lot of information. A lot of data is with our police. Everything has been investigated, including how it happened, who appointed whom and what was done. Everything will come out,” Shivakumar stated.

The 21st additional city civil and sessions judge and special judge for CBI and PMLA cases, Manjunath Sangreshi, remanded Gangwar to ED custody till September 26. The ED, through special public prosecutor Maheshwari DM, had sought 14 days of custody in connection with the alleged leakage of the veterinary officer recruitment examination question paper.

Gangwar was produced before the court from Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, where he was in judicial custody. BENGALURU: A special court in Bengaluru on Monday remanded suspended IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar to six days of Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment.

The agency told the court that custodial interrogation of Gangwar was required to trace the alleged proceeds of crime and ascertain further details of the money laundering case. On the KPSC scam, Karnataka chief minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said the state government is legally exploring the possibility of shutting down the KPSC following widespread irregularities, while also questioning the high court’s prerogative to hand-pick specific officers to head a Special Investigation Team (SIT).
