Investigation into the scam surrounding the TNPSC’s Group-IV exam in 2019 has widened and the CBCID has begun looking into all examinations conducted by the commission in the past five years. The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission has conducted about six examinations, across all groups, in the past five years.
“It is our duty to expose and nail the culprits. We will suggest sealing the loopholes in the system based on our investigation,” a senior CBCID officer said.
Another officer said the CBCID had so far arrested about 14 people in connection with the 2019 TNPSC Group-IV exam scam and is questioning a few more. A team on Thursday conducted searches at the house of S Jayakumar of Mogappair, one of the key suspects, and recovered a laptop, pen drive and more than 60 magic ink pens apart from a few documents.
Separately, head constable Chittandi the central figure in the still-unfolding case that is turning out to be Tamil Nadu’s Vyapam has gone underground after getting himself admitted to hospital for ‘treatment’. A search is on for him.

Suspect on run helped wife, two brothers land govt jobs
Chittaandi, of Sivaganga, who got four of his family members into Group II services in 2017 and Group IV services in 2019, was an orderly under R Natraj, former DGP and ex-TNPSC chairman who is now an AIADMK MLA from Mylapore.
Inquiries by police showed Chithaandi developed contacts with TNPSC officials and influenced them to help agents enrol select candidates in the final list. CB-CID officers have questioned Chithaandi’s wife, who cleared the Group-II exam and got into government service as well his two brothers, one of who bagged a government job after the 2017 Group-II exam. The CBCID in a release said there would be a cash reward for those providing information about him and that they contact SPs S Mallika (9940269998), C Vijayakumar, (9443884395), M Rangarajan (9940190030) and DSPs R Chandrasekaran (9498105810) and E Kanagaraj (9444156386).
