Kalaburagi: Criminal Investigation Department (CID) detained the main accused in the Karnataka PSI scam Rudragowda D Patil from Maharashtra and brought him to its office late Saturday night.

The case is related to the irregularities in the appointment of police sub-inspectors in the state.

Earlier on Saturday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said everything related to the PSI recruitment scam will be thoroughly investigated, and action will be taken against those found guilty.

Bommai on Thursday said, “Arrangements were made on the lines of the UPSC recruitment test. Irregularities had been perpetrated despite the tight security and transparent system. We want to put an end to this,” he added.
