Overview
- The Maharashtra Public Service Commission's judicial inquiry formally moved the affidavit deadline from November 16 to November 23 and said no statements will be accepted after that date.
- Affidavits must be in Marathi or English, include valid identity proof and self‑attested supporting documents, be notarised, and one signed copy should be emailed to complaints.inquirycomm.mpsc@maharashtra.gov.in.
- NCP legislator Rohit Pawar has handed evidence to Tukaram Mundhe, the commission's member secretary, and has urged the panel to obtain and publish the Mumbai Crime Branch preliminary report.
- The five‑member commission, led by retired Justice Dilip Bhosale, is probing alleged paper and answer‑key leaks across nine MPSC exams, including the Food and Drug Inspector paper that MPSC acknowledged was leaked on August 26.
- Officials have reported arrests of roughly 10–11 people linked to the case and the expanded evidence window could broaden the probe, affect candidate outcomes and shape the commission's recommendations to the state.
