A man identified as Angrez Singh, 26, was nabbed after he disguised as a woman to write an exam for his girlfriend in Punjab’s Faridkot, India.
According to The Indian Express, on January 7, 2024, a multi-purpose health workers exam was conducted by the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences at DAV Public School in Kotkapura. Angrez Singh from Fazilka decided to write the exam by donning the guise of his girlfriend, Paramjit Kaur, 34,
Decked out in red bangles, a bindi, lipstick, bangles and a ladies’ suit, Angrez Singh walked into the examination hall as if he were Kaur. 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. The university officials got the police involved and Angrez was arrested.
According to the police, Angrez Singh went all out in his effort, utilising fake voter and Aadhar cards to prove he was Paramjit Kaur. The plan seemed foolproof until the fateful moment when his fingerprints failed to match those of the genuine candidate on the biometric device.
Kaur had earlier failed in the exam. Though Singh said she was a relative, the investigation found out they were not relatives, according to the police.
