Bihar university issues admit cards with PM Modi, Dhoni and Governor Phagu Chauhan's photo

A university in Bihar has come under spotlight after it issued admit cards with photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, star cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Bihar Governor Phagu Chauhan.

According to PTI, the examinees happen to be BA part III students of colleges based at Madhubani, Samastipur and Begusarai districts, all affiliated to the Lalit Narayan Mithila University headquartered in Darbhanga.

"A serious note has been taken of the anomalies which have come to light through social media. An inquiry has been ordered and the students concerned have been issued show cause notices. An FIR may also be lodged," Mushtaq Ahmed, the university's registrar, was quoted as saying.


He said admit cards were issued online, to be downloaded by respective students, all of whom had been provided with unique login details.

"Students were supposed to upload photographs and other details which were processed by our data centre for preparing admit cards. Some of them seem to have engaged in irresponsible mischief," said the registrar.

"Exemplary action will be taken after an investigation. The episode gives the university a bad name. Misuse of photographs of the PM and the governor are also a grave matter," he added.

A couple of years ago, a similar incident was reported from Muzaffarpur. Admit card of a student showed the names Emraan Hashmi and Sunny Leone, Bollywood stars not married to each other, against columns meant for father and mother respectively.
