Sunny Leone’s pic on hall ticket of candidate, education department orders probe

BENGALURU: A student appearing for the Karnataka Teachers Recruitment examination had actress Sunny Leone’s picture instead of her own in her hall ticket. The state education department ordered an inquiry after the picture of the hall ticket was circulated on social media and sparked widespread protests.

After the incident, BR Naidu, social media chairperson of the Karnataka Congress, came forward and severely criticized the state education department.

“”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.

Meanwhile, a statement issued by Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh’s office said that the photo in the hall ticket is uploaded by the candidate.

“Candidate has to upload a photo. The system takes whatever photo they attach to the file. When we asked the candidate if she put Sunny Leone’s photo on her admit card, she said her husband’s friend uploaded her information.”, the statement reads.
