Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced plans to overhaul the Karnataka Public Service Commission to ensure a fair recruitment process following examination irregularities.
The state government has granted immediate permission to interrogate accused IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, who allegedly leaked question papers for the veterinary officer recruitment exam.
According to CID investigations, question papers for the January 2026 exam were leaked to top rank holders with bribes ranging from ₹20 lakh to ₹80 lakh collected via middleman Basavaraj Kannale.
