Ghaziabad police have verified and 'cleared' Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi as a driver, resident of Indirapuram locality.

No, this is not a joke. A police post of Shipra Sun City verified the personal details of the tenant written as Rahul Gandhi, son of late Rajiv Gandhi.

It appears that someone pulled off a prank on the Congress vice president. Even though police have registered an FIR, they indicated that the document could be an old one.

"Prima facie it appears that somebody has played a mischievous act. The format of the form is not matching with our presently available form. It might be an old one," said Gorakh Nath Yadav, Inspector at Indirapuram police station.
