'No need to probe KPSC chief'

Opposition Leader V.S. Achuthanandan yesterday ruled out the need for an inquiry against Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) Chairman M. Gangadhara Kurup in connection with his Private Secretary accepting a bribe from a job-seeker.

Speaking to reporters here, Achuthanandan charged the media with 'witch-hunting' the pro-communist chairman and observed that he had already proceeded against Kurup for accepting Rs200,000 for including the job-hunter's name in the PSC rank list for the post of Sub-Inspectors.
