Overview
- The inquiry commission, which extended the notarised‑affidavit deadline to November 23 on Friday, said it will not accept any submissions received after that date.
- Applicants must file notarised affidavits in Marathi or English with valid identity proof and self‑attested supporting documents and email copies to complaints.inquirycomm.mpsc@maharashtra.gov.in.
- The panel is probing alleged question‑paper and answer‑key leaks in nine MPSC competitive exams held between 2023 and 2026, including the March 22, 2026 Food and Drug Inspector paper that the MPSC acknowledged was leaked.
- NCP legislator Rohit Pawar has handed evidence to the commission and says about 10–11 people including candidates, MPSC officials and alleged middlemen have been arrested while demanding the Mumbai Crime Branch preliminary report be made public.
- The commission can examine serving and former MPSC chairpersons and members, fix responsibility and recommend action, a process that could affect recruitments, trigger criminal probes and shape public confidence in Maharashtra’s civil‑service exams.
