Chandigarh, November 5

Punjab BJP State President Kewal Singh Dhillon today flagged grave irregularities in the recently declared results of the Punjab Civil Services (PCS) Mains examination, terming it a massive scam that has compromised the future of thousands of deserving aspirants. Dhillon demanded an immediate, time-bound investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the direct supervision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Highlighting glaring discrepancies in the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) results, Dhillon pointed out that roll numbers belonging to candidates who were reportedly absent from the examination have surfaced in the shortlist of qualified candidates.”It defies all statistical probability and administrative logic that 10 to 11 candidates from a single examination room, and as much as 24.21% of total successful candidates from a single examination centre, have cleared this premier competitive examination,” Dhillon remarked. “This brazen rigging completely shatters Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s high-decibel claims of transparent governance and merit-driven recruitment.”
