Odisha SI Exam Scam: CBI Arrests Mastermind Biranchi Nayak in Major Breakthrough
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made its first major breakthrough in the Odisha Sub‑Inspector (SI) recruitment scam by arresting Biranchi Narayan Nayak, identified as the mastermind behind the fraudulent operation.
Nayak was apprehended from Paralakhemundi and taken into custody, marking a significant step in the ongoing probe into irregularities that have shaken the credibility of police recruitment in the state.
Investigators revealed that Nayak played a pivotal role in the so‑called “Digha model,” a scheme that allegedly manipulated exam processes and compromised fairness in selection.
The scam involved serious irregularities in the recruitment procedure, raising concerns about transparency, merit, and the integrity of law enforcement hiring.
Authorities believe this arrest will pave the way for uncovering deeper layers of the scam and restoring public trust in the recruitment system. The investigation continues, with more arrests and revelations expected in the coming weeks.
