Orissa, Oct. 5 -- In the latest development in the alleged multi-crore Odisha Police Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment scam, the Crime Branch, on Saturday, arrested (Special Security Battalion) jawan Biswaranjan Behera in connection with the case.

Behera, a 2018-batch constable of the Special Security Battalion, was posted at Lok Seva Bhawan in Bhubaneswar at the time of his arrest. Official sources said he was earlier deployed for security duties at the residence of a former Chief Minister.

Following this, a Pandora's box has opened with the Crime Branch now suspecting and opening a fresh line of inquiry into possible involvement of serving security and police personnel in the syndicate that allegedly sold police jobs.
