During an unusual incident, an admit card for the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam featured a photo of Bollywood actress Sunny Leone. The admit card, dated February 17, was issued on the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board’s portal for the constable position.
The registration was completed on the UPPRB website with Leone’s photograph and registration number ‘12258574’. The image of the admit card quickly spread on social media platform X, sparking humorous reactions from users. “India is surely not for beginners,” one user commented.
“No producer is signing a movie with Sunny Leone. That’s why she has applied for the UP police recruitment,” another user joked. “Wait, Sunny Leone is taking the UP police exam. What is happening in this country?” another user quipped.
Upon noticing the viral admit card, the UPPRB clarified that the admit card with Sunny Leone’s name was fake. Officials explained that incorrect photos were uploaded by a candidate during the application process for the exam.
The examination center, Smt Soneshree Memorial Girls College in Kannauj’s Tirwa, confirmed that the individual associated with the card did not appear for the exam. According to a report by Live Hindustan, the mobile number on the admit card was traced to a resident of Mahoba, UP.
The police have confirmed the admit card as fake and are conducting an investigation to identify the responsible individual. The UP Police Recruitment Exam, which started on Saturday, has faced scrutiny as a total of 122 people were arrested, as reported by Director General of Police (DGP) Prashant Kumar.
Among the 122 arrests, 15 were in Etah, 9 each in Mau, Prayagraj, and Siddharthanagar, 8 in Ghazipur, 7 in Azamgarh, 6 in Gorakhpur, 5 in Janupur, 4 in Firozabad, 3 each in Kaushambi and Hathras, 2 each in Jhansi, Varanasi, Agra, and Kanpur, and 1 each in Ballia, Deoria, and Bijnor.
