Karnataka teachers' exam admit card: Sunny Leone's photo on admit card, govt orders probe after screenshots go viral

The error came to light at when a candidate produced her admit card carrying the image of Sunny Leone at the test centre Rudrappa College, following which the principal of the institution lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime police.

According to initial investigation, he mistake might have happened at the time of uploading the photograph while filing and submitting the application online. The candidate said she did not fill the application online but asked others to do it on her behalf.

The state education department has issued a clarification about the admit card. The department, in a statement, said that candidates have to fill the application online for which a user ID and password is generated, which is exclusive to the candidate and no one else can meddle with it. The department said it has no role in generating the examination hall ticket because it has to be done by the candidates only.

Meanwhile, opposition Congress was quick to latch on the issue. Karnataka Congress social media chairperson BR Naidu on Tuesday alleged that the state education department had printed the photo of the former adult star on the hall ticket instead of the candidate’s photo.

“In the teacher’s recruitment hall ticket, instead of the candidate’s photo, the education department had printed the photo of Blue Film actress Sunny Leone. What can we expect from the party which watched blue films inside the assembly,” Naidu tweeted in Kannada along with the image of the said candidate’s admit card.
