Reacting to the reports of prime accused in allegations of irregularities in PSI recruitment in the state, Divya Hagaragi being a member of BJP, party’s MLA Rajkumar Patil Telkur on Monday said Divya is not BJP member.

“The government will not tolerate such behavior from anybody. The guilty will be punished, irrespective of who they are. The government has sought to carry out CID investigations in this regard,” he said.

CID team investigating the allegations, on Sunday raided Divya’s house in Kalaburagi and arrested her husband for not cooperating during the investigation. Divya however, is absconding from past few days.

The investigating CID team has reportedly arrested seven people so far including three women exam room supervisors from Divya’s school and three candidates who appeared for the exam.
