Bihar’s Bewildering Bureaucracy: From ‘Dog Babu’ to ‘Cat Kumar’

The bureaucratic blunders in Bihar continue to amaze! Following the infamous case of “Dog Babu” receiving a residence certificate in Patna’s Masaurhi block, a new contender has emerged: “Cat Kumar.” This feline-inspired applicant, whose application for a residential certificate listed his parents as “Catty Boss” and “Catiya Devi,” has left authorities in Rohtas district scratching their heads.

Adding to the absurdity, the application was accompanied by a photograph – not of the alleged “Cat Kumar,” but of a dog. This perplexing situation has prompted a formal investigation and the filing of a case. The incident highlights ongoing challenges with verification processes and raises questions about the accuracy and integrity of official records within the state.

While the ‘Dog Babu’ case sparked widespread amusement and criticism, ‘Cat Kumar’ serves as a stark reminder of the need for stricter measures to prevent such irregularities and ensure the accuracy of vital documents. The ongoing investigation will hopefully shed light on how such a blatant error could occur and what steps are being taken to prevent future occurrences.
