Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah on Wednesday demanded lodging an FIR and suspension of top police officers Amrit Paul and Shanta Kumar for their alleged role in the PSI recruitment scam in the State.
The Congress leader said soon after the scam broke out, the Government transferred ADGP in-charge of recruitment Amrit Paul to Internal Security division. DYSP Shanta Kumar too has been transferred. “This shows that these officers may have been involved. The Government should have lodged an FIR and suspended them,” he said.
Mr. Siddaramaiah pointed out that 1,29,000 candidates had applied for PSI jobs while 57,000 were called to write the examination. A total of 545 candidates were provisionally selected. The Government has acknowledged the scam and ordered re-examination.
