The Enforcement Directorate has arrested suspended Karnataka Public Service Commission Chairman Shivashankarappa Sahukar and another officer in connection with a job racket investigation.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken significant action in the ongoing investigation into the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) job racket. Authorities have arrested Shivashankarappa Sahukar, who currently serves as the suspended Chairman of the KPSC, along with another commission officer.
The arrests are part of the central agency's probe into alleged irregularities and corruption within the state's recruitment body. Sahukar, who was already suspended from his duties, is now in the custody of the ED for further interrogation.
This development marks a critical juncture in the case, as the ED seeks to uncover the extent of the alleged racket involving the commission. The second officer arrested is also expected to face detailed questioning as part of the ongoing legal proceedings.
