This week's winner of the what-did-I-just-read moment is a Hyderabadi gent who tried to cast a vote using an ID with Bollywood star Salman Khan's photo. No, we're not making this up.
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has a registered voter on its list with the EXACT face of India's favourite bhai. #TrueLove
In the civic polls conducted yesterday, the staff running the polling booth in Gowlipura, Charminar, were taken aback to see Salman listed as a voter, albeit under a different name.
Before you ask, the ID was registered under Saleem Khan's name (hint: Salman's father), and was aged 64.
Once the volunteers at the booth realised what was going on and prohibited the man in question from casting his vote.
