UP police recruitment exam admit card features Sunny Leone's photo
PTC News Desk: A curious incident has stirred social media as Sunny Leone's photograph surfaced on an admit card meant for the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment examination. According to reports, the registration process for the post of constable (civil police) on the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board's (UPPRB) website led to this unexpected outcome.
The admit card in question indicated that the examination center was set at Smt Soneshree Memorial Girls College in Kannauj's Tirwa, with the exam scheduled for February 17. However, Live Hindustan reported that the mobile number used for registration belonged to a resident of UP's Mahoba, while the address provided was from Mumbai.

Despite the issuance of the admit card, the college administration confirmed that no candidate bearing that particular document appeared for the examination.
Upon investigation, police officials deemed the admit card to be fake, noting that the photograph of the actress was uploaded during the registration process by the candidate. Accordingly, the candidate was instructed to appear at the examination center with their photograph and Aadhaar card. As the incident gained traction, reports emerged that the cyber cell of the Kannauj Police had launched an investigation into the matter.
