Karnataka Recruitment Scam: ABVP Demands CBI Probe Into Rs 80 Lakh Cash-for-Jobs Racket

Protests erupted in Bengaluru over alleged irregularities in Karnataka's state recruitment process, with ABVP demanding a CBI probe into a suspected cash-for-jobs racket. Candidates were allegedly asked to pay ₹70–80 lakh for government jobs, including posts in the recruitment of 400 veterinary officers. The CID is currently investigating multiple FIRs under Karnataka High Court monitoring. ABVP protesters blocked roads and formed a human chain, with several detained by police, as the student body pressed the Karnataka government to hand over the probe to the CBI.
