A letter apparently published by St John's College in Agra has been going viral on desi Twitter for its strange message. St John’s College is one of the oldest educational institutions in Agra, founded in 1850 by Britishers.
The viral circular, dated January 14, reads: “It is mandatory for all girls to have at least one boyfriend by February 14. This has been done for security purposes. Single girls will not be allowed to enter the college premises. They’ll have to show a recent picture with their boyfriend. Spread love.” The circular is signed by one "Prof Ashish Sharma, Associate Dean (Academic Affairs)."
College Principal Prof S.P. Singh issued a clarification on Monday 25th Jan to rubbish the fake circular and said, “It has come to our notice that some mischievous elements have been circulating a message wrongfully attributing it to college authorities. They want to spoil the good name and reputation of the college. Students please ignore the letter. We will catch the person and take strict action against them.”
The same viral letter, with the same exact text, but a different date and different college logo was also circulated on Twitter under the name of 'SRM University' in Chennai.
