For The Sake Of Love: Punjab Man Tries To Fake Identity, Take Exam In Place Of Girlfriend

New Delhi: A man who was allegedly impersonating his girlfriend during a recruitment examination held by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences in Punjab’s Faridkot district was caught after officials found that his biometric details did not match with those of the original candidate.

According to police, Angrez Singh of Fazilka came to the examination hall wearing a salwar kameez along with a stole and a cap. He had shaved off his facial hair, applied makeup and affixed his own photo (dressed like a girl) over that of his girlfriend Paramjeet Kaur, Kotkapura SHO Manoj Kumar was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

The incident allegedly happened on January 7 at DAV Public School in Kotkapura, one of the centres for the exam.

“The candidate managed to enter the examination hall. However, the officials got suspicious as the picture of Paramjeet Kaur on the application form was not matching with the face of the candidate in question. Later biometrics were done and they didn’t match with the ones kept in the records. It was found that a boy named Angrez Singh had impersonated Kaur. He had even got a fake Aadhar card, voter card and I card made in the name of Paramjeet Kaur,” Faridkot SSP Harjeet Singh told The Indian Express.
Angrej Singh was arrested and has got bail. An investigation on the fake identity cards will be done after getting more details from the university.
