The National Police Service Commission has annulled police recruitment done in 36 centres due to malpractices during the exercise.
Upto 1, 215 recruits will be affected by the order announced on Tuesday by the Commission’s chairman Johnston Kavuludi.
“Some of the recruitment centres fell short of the standards set by the National Police Service Commission. Thirty six centres where the exercise was conducted have been annulled,” said Mr Kavuludi.
