Lucknow: A probe was ordered after an admit card of the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable recruitment examination carrying the photograph of Bollywood actor Sunny Leone went viral on social media.
The recruitment exam for the post of constables was conducted on Saturday and Sunday in two shifts across all the districts in the state.
The examination centre at the admit card in question was at S S Memorial Girls College at Tirwa in UP's Kannauj district. The examination there was held on Saturday. The college authorities however said that no one carrying the admit card appeared in the examination on Saturday.
The authorities suspected that the admit card was 'fake' and that someone might have uploaded the photograph of the actor during the registration process. It might also be an act of mischief, the officials said.
They also said that the candidates appearing at the recruitment examination were asked to carry a photograph and their Aadhar Cards in case a wrong photograph was pasted on their admit cards.
A probe was ordered into the matter and the cyber police in Kannauj were investigating the same, reports said.
Meanwhile more than 100 people were arrested at different places in the state on charges of impersonating at the Police recruitment examination, according to the sources here on Sunday.
More than 48 lakh candidates had applied for 60 thousand posts of constables in UP police.
