Bizarre Names in Chhattisgarh Police Exam Results Spark Row

The government of a state in India called Chhattisgarh was hiring people for police jobs.

People who wanted these jobs first had to pass a written test.

When the list of people who passed the test came out, some names looked very strange, like 'News' and 'Spacerani.'

Many people were surprised and wondered if something had gone wrong.

A political party called the Congress asked for an investigation.

The group in charge of the test, called the CGPSC, said the candidates typed those names themselves when they signed up online.

One candidate came forward and said that 'News' is the name written on his official documents.

The ruling party, called the BJP, said the Congress was creating confusion without checking the facts.

Officials told everyone to trust only the official website for accurate information.
