Veterinary Doctors Allege Recruitment Scam in Karnataka
Some veterinary doctors in Karnataka are very upset.
They think the test to become veterinary officers was not fair.
They say people paid a lot of money to get jobs.
They also say some tests happened in fancy resorts, and some people who got jobs are related to important people.
The doctors have audio clips and other proof.
They want the police to investigate.
The governor has already suspended the head of the testing organization because of other problems.
The doctors hope the police will make things fair.
Veterinary doctors in Karnataka have lodged a complaint alleging irregularities in the KPSC recruitment process for 400 veterinary officer posts.
They claim that middlemen demanded between Rs 70 lakh and Rs 80 lakh for securing appointments.
The recruitment examination was conducted in January 2026, and the final selection list was published on July 17.
Complainants allege that some tests were conducted in resorts and that relatives of influential KPSC officials secured high scores.
The complaint comes after the Governor suspended the KPSC Chairman over separate allegations of facilitating illegal selections.
