FollowThe police complaint regarding a girl in Kerala who was ordered to remove her innerwear before taking the NEET medical entrance test is "fictitious" and was made with "wrong intents," according to the superintendent of the exam centre.
According to National Testing Agency (NTA) authorities, they have received no complaints in this respect. The father of a 17-year-old girl in Kerala's Kollam district, who has filed a police complaint and plans to appeal to the Human Rights Commission, informed that his daughter had followed the dress code stated in the NEET bulletin, which does not mention innerwear, and she was asked to remove it in order to write the exam.
