A fake driving license has been issued in the name of All India Congress Committee General Secretary Rahul Gandhi in Bihar's Sarna district, following which the state government on Tuesday ordered a probe into it. The present address in the fake license was that of the district magistrate's residence (Chapra) while the permanent address was of Parliament Street, New Delhi. The license also mentioned late Rajiv Gandhi as the father of the license holder.
