Hashmat Ullah Khan Haazir Ho

30 January, 2009 by Amit Varma

This is quite the WTF news of the week:

Rashtrapati Bhavan has ordered a probe in the Hashmat Ullah Khan controversy who had been conferred the Padma Shri award from the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Investigations have shown that there is no person named Hashmat Ullah Khan.

Maybe he worked for Satyam?

(HT: Lahar, Balakrishnan and Deepak.)
