Man applies henna on hair to look 1 cm taller in police test

A UP-based man named Ankit Kumar applied henna to his hair and combed it in such a way to appear taller and pass the physical test for sub-inspector recruitment. "I was short by 1 cm from the minimum height required to qualify. I had cleared the written test...and didn't want this opportunity to be wasted," Ankit was quoted as saying. An FIR has been filed against him.
