Maharashtra Public Service Commission chairman Vivek Bhimanwar has announced that he will remain on leave while a judicial inquiry examines allegations of examination paper leaks. The decision follows protests by MPSC aspirants in Pune, supported by NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar. The controversy has renewed concerns about recruitment examination transparency, accountability and the protection of candidates preparing for government jobs.
