Overview
- The admit card for a fourth-grade (peon) recruitment test in Bihar’s District and Sessions Court displayed a dog’s photograph instead of candidate Ritesh Kumar’s.
- Admit cards were issued after a delay of nearly four years since vacancies were notified in 2022, with the preliminary examination set for March 15.
- Kumar, from Dhawa village in Bikramganj, Rohtas district, says he uploaded the correct image and showed an acknowledgement slip to substantiate his claim.
- He reports filing multiple complaints with the recruitment authorities but says no correction has been made as his centre has been allotted in Saharsa district.
- The case has triggered criticism of the recruitment board’s processes and digital system, with calls for an immediate fix and accountability for the error.
