PSC bribery row: BJP lodges police complaint seeking thorough probe

The BJP on Sunday intensified its attack against the ruling CPI(M) over allegations of bribes paid for appointments to the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) and lodged a complaint with the state police chief demanding a “thorough investigation”.

The saffron party accused the Left leadership of trying to downplay the fraud as its internal problem and alleged that there were “big forces” behind the scam.

In a complaint submitted to DGP Sheikh Darvesh Saheb, BJP state chief K Surendran alleged that appointments in the PSC were being made by the ruling party after taking bribes. He said is a serious matter that must be investigated.
