DAYS after a residential certificate was issued in Bihar for pet dog named "Dog Babu", a fresh case of a similar bizarre income certificate form has emerged from Jehanabad district, listing the applicant's name as "Samsung" and the names of his parents as "iPhone" and "Smartphone."

The income certificate form also listed the family's residence as "gaddha," (pit). A widely circulated photo of the reported form shows the parents listed as "iPhone" and "Smartphone."

When the application reached the Modanganj block office, officials were stunned and promptly informed the Circle Officer (CO) of Modanganj.

When contacted, Circle Officer, Modanganj, Mohammad Asif Hussain said, "Upon reviewing the form, it appeared to be a prank. The form has been rejected. But strict legal action will be taken against such pranksters."
