Karnataka High Court Seeks SIT Report on Veterinary Recruitment Scam
The Karnataka High Court is looking into a big problem with how veterinary doctors were hired in the state.
Some people say the exam papers were shared online before the test and that money was asked for good scores.
They want the Central Bureau of Investigation to look into it.
The court asked the state to give a report from a special team by August 6 and to stop new hires until the case is solved.
The state says the special team is enough and that the investigation is already happening.
This case follows many past problems with the state hiring board, and many people are still waiting for their results.
Karnataka High Court questioned alleged irregularities in 2023‑24 Veterinary Officer recruitment by KPSC.
Petitioners claim exam papers leaked, bribery demands, and unfair scoring, seeking a CBI probe.
Court asked state to submit SIT report by August 6 and froze appointment orders pending review.
State said SIT was underway, with three KPSC officials suspended, and opposed a CBI investigation.
The case follows a history of KPSC scandals and ongoing delays affecting over 250,000 candidates.
