NAB seizes records of Balochistan Public Service Commission
A raid was conducted on the offices of the Public Service Commission.
QUETTA:
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) raided the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) offices on Thursday and confiscated the examination records of the last two years as part of an investigation into irregularities in appointments.
The move came in the wake of protests against nepotism in the recently held tests for section officers.
On Tuesday (September 25), results for the tests held for the selection of Section Officer BPS-17 were announced by the Commission wherein the sons of BPSC member Asad Khan Luni, Deputy Director Examination BPSC Abdul Wahid, nephew of BPSC member Inyatullah Chengazi and son-in-law of Luni clinched the open merit seats.
The results infuriated the candidates and drove them to BPSC and the local press club to protest.
In an earlier incident the commission had recommended appointment of BPSC chairman Muhammad Ashraf Magsi’s daughter and son to the post of head teacher BPS-17.
Talking to media, NAB deputy director operation Ziaullah said that they had received a flood of complaints about alleged irregularities in the commission. “We have taken into custody the record of two years and whosoever is found guilty of any irregularities shall be dealt with strictly,” he said.
He also invited the candidates and others to share with NAB any evidence they had against the commission.
