2019 TNPSC Group-IV services exam was marred by malpractices
The CB-CID on Wednesday submitted a status report to the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on the investigation into the 2019 TNPSC Group-IV services examination that was marred by malpractices.
A Division Bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and P. Velmurugan was informed that 118 persons, including 98 candidates, two TNPSC staff and a van driver, had been arrested in the case. One candidate died due to COVID-19.
The CB-CID had registered a case on the malpractices that took place in Rameswaram and Keelakarai taluks in Ramanathapuram district. The offences were committed in connivance with a record clerk and a typist of the TNPSC.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
