Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar - these are the names of residents of a rural area in Bihar. They are all villagers who have been "tested and vaccinated" for Covid-19 in Karpi panchayat of Arwal district.

"This embarrassing matter came to our notice about 20 days ago when the civil surgeon was inspecting the records. The two data operators concerned have been sacked and FIRs lodged against them," said Arwal's District Magistrate J Priyadarshini.

Known for maintaining irreconcilable records like cattle having been shown transported on scooters during the fodder scam of the 1990s, Bihar lately made news for having the name of actor Sunny Leone among job aspirants.
