Kolkata: Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar's name appeared at the top of the merit list of a college in West Bengal's Malda district, after actor Sunny Leone's name figured in that of three other colleges of the state.
The authorities of Manikchak College in Malda district said that they spotted the playback singer's name after the first merit list was published on Friday and already brought out a fresh one correcting the anomaly, Principal Aniruddha Chakraborty said.
"We have filed complaints at the local police station and the cybercrime cell of West Bengal Police. It is an act of mischief by some people who want to malign the higher education system and the transparent online admission process by including such names in the merit list," he said on Sunday.
The college students' union run by the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad said that there seems to be a design behind such incidents as Bollywood actress Sunny Leone's name had figured similarly in the merit list of three other colleges on successive days.
Leone's name featured in the third place in the list for English honours in Barasat Government College in North 24 Parganas district on Saturday, preceded by that of US pornstar Dani Daniels and webcam model from Lebanon, Mia Khalifa.
