The Enforcement Directorate has carried out searches at seven locations in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as part of its investigation into alleged irregularities in the evaluation of answer scripts for the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission Group I examination.
The searches, reported on November 4, have brought renewed attention to a case that has raised questions about the integrity of a competitive examination used to recruit officers for important public service positions. Among those named in news reports is former APPSC secretary and former IPS officer P. Sitarama Anjaneyulu.

The investigation concerns allegations surrounding the evaluation process. The agency’s searches are an investigative step and do not, by themselves, establish wrongdoing by any individual.
For aspirants who invest years preparing for the Group I examination, the development puts the focus back on transparency and confidence in recruitment. Further clarity will depend on the findings of the investigation and any subsequent official statements.
