Overview
- The Enforcement Directorate filed an 8,400‑page PMLA chargesheet and on November 14, 2026 provisionally attached movable and immovable assets worth ₹1.22 crore linked to three former KPSC officials.
- The chargesheet includes statements from more than 50 witnesses, CCTV footage, candidate confessions, and financial records that investigators say trace suspect payments and transfers.
- ED investigators allege leaked question papers, candidate‑specific answer keys and tampered OMR sheets were used to influence the January 2026 exam for 400 veterinary officer posts and to alter the confidential 1:3 merit process.
- Four people have been named in the chargesheet; accused include former KPSC chairman Shivashankarappa Sahukar, former member B.V. Geetha and IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, with Gangwar held in custody and Geetha later granted bail.
- The special court in Bengaluru will now consider the ED's material as investigators continue to trace intermediaries, bank routes and third‑party transfers that the agency says disguised large cash payments and blank cheques.
