The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids properties of IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar in Bengaluru and in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly. Officials say the searches are carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), linking the case to alleged financial wrongdoing connected to the KPSC examination controversy.
Both outlets describe the raid as part of a broader investigation into malpractice related to KPSC examinations and recruitment, including allegations connected to a veterinary officer recruitment matter. Times of India notes that Gangwar is described as “missing,” and highlights his earlier work as KPSC Controller of Examinations. It also places the raid in the context of prior ED and related searches involving KPSC facilities and former officials. The Hindu focuses on the location of the searches and the legal framework of the probe under PMLA, without adding further detail on his status.
