Overview

  • The commission announced the deadline change on Friday, extending the cut‑off from November 16 to November 23 and warning that no affidavits will be accepted after that date.
  • The five‑member Maharashtra Government‑appointed panel is led by retired Justice Dilip Bhosale with IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe as member‑secretary and is probing alleged leaks in nine MPSC exams held between 2023 and 2026.
  • Complainants must submit notarised affidavits in Marathi or English, include a copy of valid ID and self‑attested supporting documents, and email a copy to complaints.inquirycomm.mpsc@maharashtra.gov.in; the commission provided a helpline at 022‑20867677.
  • NCP leader Rohit Pawar has handed the panel evidence and said about 10–11 people, including candidates, officials and alleged middlemen, have been arrested as police investigate the Food and Drug Inspector paper leak first acknowledged by the MPSC.
  • The firm deadline and strict submission rules will shape the record the commission can use to assign responsibility and recommend action, and the panel’s findings could affect candidates’ results, MPSC officials’ careers and any criminal prosecutions that follow.
