Bengaluru: More than 45000 candidates have applied for competitive exam for excise sub inspector posts, being conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission on February 17. But the candidates have complained that they are facing problem in getting hall tickets due to technical snag in KPSC website.

After downloading the hall ticket from the website, if the print option is clicked, the candidates have to wait for at least 15-20 minutes. Moreover, they have been confronting the server problem very often and especially in rural areas, the candidates were finding it difficult to get the hall tickets.

Condemning the negligence of the KPSC, several candidates staged a protest in front of the KPSC office here on Thursday to draw the attention of the authorities.

To get a printed copy of the hall tickets, the candidates have to change the paper settings in the computers. Otherwise, the hall ticket would not be printed completely. In urban areas, the candidates are getting the printouts easily with the help of experts. But in rural areas, candidates have been facing this problem. It is said that the candidates who have taken the competitive exams earlier had faced the same problem. The candidates appealed the KPSC authorities to rectify the problem immediately.

How to get hall ticket?

After log in into the website, the candidate has to click on ‘My Application’ and later, mention 2018 and select ‘Direct Recruitment’ in Advertisement Type. Later, in ‘Post Name’, they have to click ‘Excise Sub Inspector’. After this, the candidate has to click on ‘Application ID’ followed by ‘Hall Ticket’ to get the download of the copy, according to a press release from the KPSC.

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris' son Mohammed Haris Nalapad on Tuesday claimed that the 21 hours of search by the ED in his house and other locations did not fetch anything.

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday raided the premises of the two sons of Haris (Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad), Aqeeb Khan, grandson of ex-Union cabinet minister K Rahman Khan and an alleged crypto hacker named Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki in a crypto currency-linked money laundering case.

More than a dozen premises in the city have been covered as part of the action executed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

"My grandfather is 89-year-old. There is not a single bad mark. My father (N A Haris) is a four-time MLA. There is not a single accusation against him. Their only intention was to target myself and my brother. As simple as that," Mohammed Nalapad, who is a former Karnataka Youth Congress president, told reporters.

According to him, the ED officials carried out raids for 21 hours.

"After 21 hours of search, they took away only two mobile phones from our house. They did not get a single paisa. The ED will testify it," the Congress leader said.

Exuding faith in the law, he said he is ready to fight the case in court.

"Me and my father have opted for politics and we are in public life. You can call me whatever you want but I have not done anything wrong," Mohammed Nalapad said.

Regarding his relationship with Sriki, he said he knew him but had no clue what he was doing.

"I have never said that either me or my brother do not know Sriki. But how will I know what he does in his house? Can his crimes be linked to us," he asked.

The money laundering case stems from some Karnataka Police FIRs and chargesheets filed in a 2017 case of hacking of national and international websites, stealing of bitcoins and sale of these 'stolen' virtual digital assets (VDA) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.

The Nalapad brothers and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be the beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this alleged crypto-linked crime, the ED said.
