Investigators handling the Kerala Public Service Commission exam cheating case have obtained the authority to summon the inquiry panel for questioning.
The investigation into alleged malpractice in Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) examinations has taken a significant step forward. Court orders now empower the probe team to summon the appointed inquiry panel, allowing officials to be questioned under oath.
The probe, launched after reports of paper leaks and irregularities in recent PSC recruitment tests, has been gathering evidence from multiple sources. Authorities have been examining the role of exam conductors, invigilators and external actors suspected of facilitating the breach.
Securing the right to call the panel marks a procedural milestone, potentially accelerating the timeline for conclusions and any disciplinary or legal action. The outcome could affect upcoming PSC recruitments and set a precedent for handling similar exam integrity cases across the country.
