A new controversy has come to light regarding the SI recruitment examination of Uttar Pradesh Police. Objection is being raised on a question asked in this examination paper. This question is from Hinda…the question was – ‘changes as per the occasion’, in which the word ‘Pandit’ was also given as one of the options.
