The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) achieved a significant breakthrough in the ongoing Police Sub-Inspector (SI) examination scam on Saturday with the arrest of another accused, intensifying its probe into the alleged irregularities.
Sources reveal the investigating agency arrested Neetu Arora from another state, which strongly indicates that the scam has inter-state links and involves a wider network than initially suspected. Officials stated the accused was taken into custody after preliminary evidence suggested direct involvement in the examination manipulation racket.
Meanwhile, the two-day remand period for the previously arrested middlemen in the case has concluded. Accused individuals Muna Mohanty and Abhimanyu Dora, who were in CBI custody for questioning, have finished their remand period. The agency reportedly questioned them extensively to trace money trails, identify key conspirators, and gather details about the modus operandi used in the scam.
In addition, the CBI had previously taken the alleged mastermind, Srikant Prusty, and Soumya Priyadarshini on remand as part of the same investigation. Sources indicate that crucial information regarding the examination leak and the involvement of multiple intermediaries has emerged during these interrogations.
The CBI continues to analyze extensive documents, digital evidence, and financial transactions linked to the case. Officials have not ruled out further arrests as the investigation progresses. The Police SI examination scam has raised serious concerns over the integrity of recruitment processes, prompting demands for strict action against those responsible.
