Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the State police has served a second notice to Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson and former Minister Priyank Kharge in connection with alleged malpractices in the examination for the recruitment of 545 Police Sub-Inspectors (PSIs).
Speaking to media representatives in Kalaburagi on April 28, the Congress MLA said that the notice was handed over to him by a CID officer at Bengaluru airport when he was on his way to Kalaburagi.
“I have replied to the first notice. The CID, which had issued the notice under Sections 91 and 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), had summoned me to its office and submit evidence pertaining to the PSI recruitment scam. Under the provisions of these Sections, it is not mandatory for me to be present,” Mr. Priyank said asking the CID to extend the investigation beyond Kalaburagi so that more light could be shed on the case and more people, who were involved in the irregularities, could be arrested.
