Bhubaneswar/Berhampur: A day after postponing the written examination for sub-inspectors, the police in Odisha’s Ganjam district Wednesday arrested 117 people, including 114 aspirants, on charges of cheating, forgery and fraud, a senior official said.
The action came after a crackdown on a racket allegedly involved in sabotaging the upcoming sub-inspector recruitment examination (written) on October 5-6 conducted by the Odisha Police Recruitment Board (OPRB).
Among them, 114 persons had applied for the upcoming sub-inspector examination.
“All of them are engaged in an organised crime of sabotaging the upcoming sub-inspector exam,” the statement said, adding, their plan was to get the question paper in Vijayanagaram secretly, and come back to Bhubaneswar to appear for the exam.
The OPRB, in a notification Tuesday, had announced postponement of the SI recruitment examination scheduled for October 5-6.
