NEET Exam Harassment Case: FIR Against 'Friskers', NTA Says The Allegations 'Fictititious'
The National Testing Agency has termed the police complaint about a girl being asked to remove her innerwear before the NEET exam in Kerala 'fictitious'.
According to National Testing Agency (NTA) officials, no complaint has been received by them in this regard.
The father of a 17-year-old girl in Kerala’s Kollam district, who has lodged a police complaint and intends to move to the Human Rights Commission also, told a TV channel that his daughter had followed the dress code mentioned in the NEET bulletin which does not state anything about innerwear and she was asked to remove it to be allowed to write the exam.
"No complaint or representation has been received by us. On basis of claims in media reports, an immediate report was sought from the center superintendent and observer. "They have informed that no such incident took place and the complaint is fictitious and has been filed with wrong intentions," a senior NTA official said.?
The NEET dress code does not permit any such activity as alleged by the parent of the candidate. The code provides for ensuring sanctity and fairness of exam while observing sensitivity towards gender, culture, and religion during frisking of candidates, the official added.?
