As many as 52 among 545 police sub-inspector post candidates were permanently debarred on Wednesday after the investigation into the recruitment scam indicted them.
Director-General of Police (Recruitment) Kamal Pant issued the order after the chargesheet against the accused was filed.
The department also sought clarification from the accused before debarring them permanently from taking any exam conducted by the Police Department henceforth. Apart from debarring the 52 accused candidates permanently, cases have also been booked in Bengaluru, Kalaburagi, Hubballi-Dharwad, Tumakuru, and other parts of the State and FIRs have been filed against them.
