Shivashankarappa S Sahukar
A senior officer said Kannale was taken to the place for a spot inspection. Bengaluru: Suspended Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) chairperson Shivashankarappa S Sahukar appeared before CID again Thursday night over the alleged veterinary officers’ examination scam. Sahukar’s appearance before CID came after he approached the high court seeking anticipatory bail after a special court rejected his plea. In his petition, he sought an interim order which the high court turned down Thursday. Basavaraj N Kannale, who has been arrested along with IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar in the scam, was taken to a villa at Devanahalli Friday.
Their custody ends on Sept 9, and we have to produce them before the court. “The questioning of Gangwar is continuing. If required, we will seek an extension of their custody,” the officer added. Kannale was also taken to his house at Sanjay Nagar Thursday. CID officials are tight-lipped on the role of two other IAS officers and a journalist.
