Bhubaneswar: An admit card for the UP Police Constable Recruitment Exam conducted across the state on Saturday and Sunday had two photographs of Bollywood actress Sunny Leone and the name spelt as “Sunny Leon”.
The gender of the applicant was marked as ‘male’ and the home district was mentioned as Kannauj district. Under the city column, the applicant mentioned Mumbai, whereas the state column read Uttar Pradesh.
The applicant who had registered on the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board’s (UPPRB) website with Leone’s photo was supposed to appear for the exam from 10 am to 12.05 pm at Kannauj’s Smt Soneshree Memorial Girls College on Sunday.
When officers and college administration at the Girls College saw Sunny Leone’s name on the list they were shocked but the applicant did not appear for the exam. “The applicant who used Leone’s photo did not turn up at the assigned centre and was marked absent,” Sub-Divisional Magistrate Ashok Kumar told the media.
The photo of the admit card went viral on social media. The recruitment board immediately corrected the admit card by uploading blank photo sections.
The two-day Constable Recruitment Exam is being conducted by UPPRB across 2,385 exam centres in 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. The examination is being conducted in two shifts across UP to fill 60,244 posts of police constables.
According to a PTI report, more than 120 people were arrested from the state in the last two days for impersonating candidates in the recruitment exam.
“Amongst the 122 arrested in total, 15 were in Etah, nine each in Mau, Prayagraj and Siddharthanagar, eight in Ghazipur, seven in Azamgarh, six in Gorakhpur, five in Jaunpur, four in Firozabad, three each in Kaushambi and Hathras, two each in Jhansi, Varanasi, Agra and Kanpur, and one each in Ballia, Deoria and Bijnor,” informed Director General of Police (DGP) Prashant Kumar.
