K. Nanthakumar, Secretary, TNPSC, coming out of the district treasury in Ramanathapuram on Friday.
Secretary of Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission K. Nanthakumar visited the District Treasury here on Friday. Sources in the TNPSC said that the commission had deputed its secretary to conduct an inquiry into alleged irregularities in examinations held in the district in 2019.
According to sources, it was found that about 40 of the first 100 ranks in the group IV examination were secured by candidates who appeared for the exam in the two centres of Rameswaram and Kilakarai. In addition, the candidates were found to be from other districts as well.
This discrepancy led to suspicion and as a repercussion to that, Mr. Nanthakumar was deputed to visit the coastal district for inquiries.
Sources said that the district administration and the police here were told to furnish the list of officials from the respective departments who were involved in the examination duties.
It is expected that the Secretary may conduct inquiry with all those officials on Saturday also. Candidates, who appeared for the exam in the Kilakarai and Rameswaram centres, may also be summoned for inquiry.
When contacted over phone, Mr. Nanthakumar remained unavailable for a comment.
