Bhubaneswar: Activists of Student Congress staged a demonstration at Master Canteen Square here demanding a CBI probe into the Institute of Technical Education and Research (ITER) fake placement scam.
The protestors burnt the effigy of Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan University owner Manoj Nayak and sought his immediate arrest.
“The placement scam has affected career of hundreds of students as they received fake job letters for recruitment in many leading companies during the campus placement drive. A CBI inquiry should be conducted into the matter and action initiated against those involved in it,” a party member said.
Commissionerate police has so far arrested three persons, ITER placement dean Raj Kishore Hota, job consultant Manas Nayak and an MBA graduate from Gurugram Vikash Lunayach, in connection with the scam.
