Central Bureau of Investigation has carried out searches at over 67 locations in connection with alleged certificate forgery in Odisha postal recruitment.
The searches have been conducted across various districts of Odisha including Kalahandi, Nuapada, Rayagada, Nabarangpur, Kandhamal, Kendujhar, Mayurbhanj, Balasore, and Bhadrak.
The agency had registered a case last month on a complaint by the Postal Department against 63 candidates of the Gramin Dak Sevak Exam, 2023 in Odisha Circle and others in the matter.
The complaint concerns the recruitment process for one thousand 382 posts of Gramin Dak Sevak for which online applications were invited in January last year.
The minimum qualification required was a 10th pass certificate from any recognized board. During the verification process, the Odisha Postal Circle allegedly discovered that 63 candidates from various postal divisions had submitted forged 10th pass certificates.
