Biswaranjan Behera, 29, allegedly netted at least five candidates promising them sub-inspector (SI) of police jobs, recruitment for which was being conducted by the Odisha Police Recruitment Board through the CPSE.

The accused was part of the racket and actively contacted aspiring candidates as per the instructions of the head of the syndicate, the CB said.

The 29-year-old apparently collected original certificates and blank cheques from candidates in lieu of providing questions to them. He handed over the documents to senior members of the syndicate.
