Centre clears decks for CBI probe in Odisha police-job-for-cash scam

Bhubaneswar, Nov 11 (UNI) Decks are cleared for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to begin a probe into the Odisha Police Sub-Inspector Recruitment Examination scam with the Centre according approval to the State Government’s recommendation in this regard.
It may be recalled here that Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on 22 October recommended the investigation of the much-publicized jobs-for-cash scam involving the police sub-inspector recruitment examination to the CBI.
The Crime Branch of the State Government was investigating the case. However, in the wake of reports that the roots of the scam are spread to Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and other states and suspicion of the involvement of inter-state organized criminal gangs in it, the State Government opted for a CBI probe into it, the Chief Minister’s Office said in a statement here today.
