A fake application on the name of former India captain MS Dhoni has come out for the post of teacher in Raipur, Chattisgarh. There was a recruitment of 14850 teachers in Raipur, and someone used Dhoni's name for the post.

Suprisingly the father's name of the applicant, which was 'Sachin Tendulkar'. Sounds bizarre? But the biggest surprise was the applicant 'MS Dhoni' was shortlisted by the officials for interview.

But when 'Dhoni' didn't turn up for the interview, as 15 applicants were invited for the interview on Friday (July 2), the officials called on the number in the application. They later realized it was a mistake and deemed the application to be fake.

Funnily, as per the application, Dhoni held an engineering degree from CSVTU University, Durg. The picture of the application went viral on social media and the authorities are now preparing to lodge an FIR against this fake applicant. The officials are not sure how the fake application made it to the interview. 

Meanwhile, the ex-India cricketer Dhoni was recently on a vacation to Shimla. He stayed at the 'Meena Bagh' villa on his vacation with family members and friends. Before returning home after a comfortable stay, Dhoni signed the waste woods in the villa after writing an important message to save trees.
