KPSC Officials Allegedly Withheld Marks to Extort Bribes from Candidates

Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) officials are alleged to have withheld marks from candidates and demanded bribes in exchange for releasing their scores, according to reports. The officials allegedly used control over merit lists as leverage to extort money from aspirants seeking government positions.

The scheme reportedly involved threatening candidates with score suppression unless they paid bribes. This practice appears to have affected multiple candidates appearing in KPSC recruitment examinations, undermining the transparency and fairness of the selection process.
