ED raids Karnataka sites over alleged KPSC exam paper leak

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out coordinated raids across Karnataka following intelligence inputs about a possible leak of Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) examination papers. The operation, launched this week, targets individuals suspected of obtaining and distributing question papers before scheduled tests.

According to officials, search teams seized computers, mobile devices and documents from offices and residences linked to the alleged network. The agency has not disclosed the exact number of locations or arrests, citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe.

The KPSC has declined to comment on the specific allegations but reiterated that any breach of exam confidentiality will attract stringent legal action. The raids come amid heightened scrutiny of recruitment examinations nationwide, prompting calls for stronger safeguards to protect the integrity of the selection process.

Authorities say the investigation remains active and further updates will be provided as evidence is examined.
