Govt will soon decide on PSI recruitment re-exam: HM Araga Jnanendra
Bengaluru, Aug 3: Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra on Wednesday said the State government would soon decide on conducting the police sub-inspector examination, which was annulled a couple of months ago following alleged irregularities.
The Home Minister gave the assurance to the candidates who are appearing for the examination that the exam dates would be announced soon, a statement issued by his office said.
Jnanendra apprised them that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is probing into the case of irregularities. Once the investigation is over, the next dates for the exam would be published.
There is no need for the 56,000 candidates who wrote the exam and did not indulge in any malpractices to panic, the Minister was quoted as telling the candidates.
He assured them to now worry about losing the eligibility criteria with regard to exceeding the age bar.
The CID, probing into the case, has arrested over 70 people, including an Additional Director General of Police Amrit Paul, who was later suspended. The CID arrested also a BJP leader, the securityman of a Congress MLA, a deputy superintendent of police and a few other policemen including an inspector, sub-inspector, head constables, constables and the candidates.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
