New Delhi: First actress Sunny Leone, then Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar and now the Japanese manga character Shin Chan made it to the merit list of a college.
As the news gained attraction, the institution said “The name was immediately removed and a fresh list put up on the college website. We have lodged a police complaint as it was an act of mischief’.
As per a PTI report, Nohara’s name appeared at the top of the BSc (Honours) merit list of Siliguri College in north Bengal, an official of the institution said on Monday. However, his name was immediately taken off the list and a police complaint was filed to ascertain who pulled off the prank.
Here’s the merit list:
The incident comes close on the heels of Kakkar’s name appearing in the BA English (Honours) merit list of Malda’s Manikchak College and Leone’s name figuring in the lists of three other colleges.
Earlier, Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar’s name was found in a merit list published by the Manikchak college West Bengal’s Malda district for admission to an undergraduate course.
Manikchak college authority issued the admission list on Thursday this week for the admission of BA first year.
The ‘Garmi’ songstress’ name was seen published at the top of the merit list of Manikchak College in West Bengal’s Malda district. The 32-year-old singer’s name was found at three places of the merit lists for the admissions to a B.A pass course, English Honours and Educational Honours course respectively.
The Principal of the college, Aniruddha Chakraborty said that the college authority had hired a Kolkata based agency to prepare the online merit list. On Thursday morning, after the publication of the three lists, we found Neha Kakkar’s name at the top of the merit lists, scored five hundred out of five hundred. Later the authority discovered the reality of the list and found that it was fake and conspiracy to defame the West Bengal government online admission system.
The college authority filed a complaint at the local police station and the cybercrime police station.
