Taking exception to the way that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is investigating the alleged malpractices and irregularities in the examinations conducted for the recruitment of 545 Police Sub-Inspectors (PSIs), Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson and MLA for Chittapur Priyank Kharge asked the Government as to when the investigating agency would start probing the malpractices and irregularities reported in the other exam centres than those in Kalaburagi.
“The CID is focusing only on the examination centres in Kalaburagi. It is not seriously looking into the alleged malpractices and irregularities reported in other centres in the State. When would the Government direct the CID to extend its investigation? Is Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai afraid of the fall of his Government if the CID extends its investigation to shed more light on the scam and unearth the involvement of senior functionaries in the Government? I demand the Government to not cover up the scam by limiting the investigation to Kalaburagi exam centres alone,” Mr. Kharge said during his brief interaction with mediapersons in Kalaburagi on Friday.
When asked about the notices served on him by the CID in connection with the PSI recruitment scam, the former Minister said that he had already replied to the notices.
