Wooden Top
‘WHEN Gajendra Kharatmal was rejected by the police force in Mumbai for not meeting the minimum height requirement, he didnt give up.
Instead, the next year and had another go. But officials of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission were suspicious when he reached the 5ft 3ins mark exactly when he first stood at the scale.
An examiner said: ”So we asked him to stand there once again. The second time, we felt something hard hidden in his hair and discovered a piece of wood.”
The 5ft 1in would-be cop has been arrested on charges of cheating and is currently out on bail.
Police spokesman A K A Kaiser said: ”On his second attempt Kharatmal was aware he would be rejected for the same reason. To get selected, he adopted this approach.”’
