On the day the prime accused and BJP leader Divya Hagaragi was arrested in the police sub-inspector (PSI) recruitment examination scam case, the State Government announced that it would annul the results of the exam.
The Government has decided to conduct a re-exam for 54,289 candidates who had written the original examination in October last year, according to Home Minister Araga Jnanendra.
Speaking to reporters on Friday after chairing a meeting with DG&IGP Praveen Sood and Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Rajneesh Goel, the Minister said there were irregularities in multiple exam centres, including Bengaluru.
