Odisha SI Recruitment Scam: BJD Alleges CBI Concealment

BJD alleges that the CBI concealed important information in its chargesheet regarding the multi-crore sub-inspector recruitment scam in Odisha. The party demands a deeper investigation to unveil those responsible at higher levels, suggesting an attempt to protect influential figures.

The opposition BJD in Odisha has accused the CBI of hiding key details in its chargesheet related to the extensive sub-inspector recruitment scam in the state. At a press conference, BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty expressed concerns over what he described as a "deliberate attempt" to shield influential personalities involved in the case.

Mohanty criticized the preliminary chargesheet for revealing less than what it concealed, suggesting the CBI's approach was to protect powerful figures. Despite attempts to reach them, the CBI did not provide comments on the matter.

The chargesheet identified the owner of Silicon Techla as the primary accused, with associates including the owner of Panchsoft Technology. Yet, it failed to implicate any officials from the Odisha Police Recruitment Board or the Home Department, prompting Mohanty to call for accountability of officials responsible for allowing the recruitment process outsourcing, which led to the massive scam.
