Bhopal: Fans do a lot of bizarre things and inking their body with names of their idol or a picture is the most common thing. One such tattoo in praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan etched on the chest of a youth from Tikamgarh district of Bhopal cost him dear as the same left him disqualified to be a part of the Indian Army.

Saurabh Bilgaiyan, 23, now wants to meet the PM and the CM to know why he was rejected.
Impressed by Modi and Chouhan, 26-year-old Bilgaiyan got a line tattooed on his chest in February 2014 which read: “Jab tak sooraj chand rahega Shivraj mama aur Modi ka naam rahega”.
The Class 10 pass-out had reportedly made five failed attempts in the past and in the sixth attempt, after a 16-km run, he was asked to take his shirt off to measure his chest. When the examiner saw the two-liner, Bilgaiyan was immediately shown the door.
“What was there in these names that led to disqualification,” he questioned.
