Bhubaneswar, Oct 17

The Odisha Police Crime Branch has arrested four persons, including one of the prime accused in the multi-crore Sub Inspector (SI) police recruitment scam, Crime Branch Director General of Police Vinaytosh Mishra said on Friday.

The scam came to the fore after the interception of three buses carrying 114 candidates and three agents by the Berhampur Police in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh on September 29 night.

However, the Crime Branch Director General of Police Mishra said that the prime accused Prusty, who was in Delhi during the arrest of the 114 candidates and the agents, is still absconding and efforts are underway to arrest him.
