The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the KPSC recruitment scam arrests and detains former KPSC chairman Shivashankarappa S Sahukar and former member BV Geeta, as part of a money-laundering investigation. Officials conduct raids at their residences in Dollars Colony, Sanjaynagar, and actions follow further evidence gathered during the probe.
One set of reports describes the ED arresting Sahukar and Geeta, while another says they are initially detained. Both accounts attribute the move to information emerging from earlier questioning of suspended IAS officer Gyanendra Kumar Gangwar, which officials say links them to the case. The investigation alleges irregularities in recruitment processes, including bribery and the use of fraudulent income certificates to influence eligibility and selection.
Across the articles, the core allegations and investigative steps remain consistent: ED action against Sahukar and Geeta is tied to a job-for-cash probe under the money-laundering framework, supported by evidence connected to Gangwar’s statements and related questioning. The main difference is the procedural stage described—detention versus arrest.
