The Crime Branch of the Odisha Police has arrested four persons in connection with a massive recruitment scam, that used its network to rig the process and help aspirants secure jobs as sub-inspectors.
“We have arrested four individuals for their involvement in the recruitment scam. They were helping job seekers practice selected question sets intensively at remote locations at Vizianagaram in Andhra Pradesh and Digha in West Bengal,” said Vinaytosha Mishra, Additional Director General of Police (Crime Branch), on Friday.
The matter came to light when Berhampur police arrested 114 aspirants while they were being taken on buses to Andhra Pradesh to obtain leaked question papers for the upcoming Combined Police Service Examination (CPSE) 2024.
