At NEET Centre in Kollam district, Kerala girls were forcibly asked to remove their inner wears which horrifies them.
Mumbai: Female candidates appearing for the medical entrance test NEET, in Kerala were forcibly asked to remove their inners to take the exam. This shocking incident came up after a girl’s father filed a police complaint.
In Kollam district at the NEET centre, the girl was allegedly told by female security personnel that she must remove her bra for the metal hooks beeped during a security check. “Is your future or innerwear big for you? Just remove it and don’t waste our time,” the girl was told, as per the complaint to the police. Humiliated and terrified, the student handed the bra to her mother and asked for a shawl to cover herself prior to entering the hall.
“Post the security check, my daughter was told that the hook of the innerwear was detected by the metal detector, and was asked to remove it. Almost 90% of female students had to remove their inners and keep them in a storeroom. The candidates were mentally disturbed while writing the exam,” said the girl’s father.
The Kollam police chief KB Ravi confirmed that the girl’s parents have filed a complaint but the Marthoma Institute of Information Technology have denied such affair.
For thousands of NEET aspirants undergoing the security check is a big deal but this incident of Kerala has disturbed them mentally before the test commenced as they felt harassed with such restrictions at horrific level.
