Bra Scandal: Four teachers battle suspension

In reaction to the news of invigilators asking female medical entrance candidate to take off their bra before being allowed to write a national-level medical entrance examination on Sunday, a total of four teachers have been suspended.

“We have suspended four teachers after a preliminary probe found them guilty of harassing female students during the National Eligibility and Entrance Test.

“The suspension is, in fact, part of disciplinary action against the four teachers,” an official of TISK English Medium School said.

Interestingly, the school principal, Jalaluddin K., said: “we have clear instructions that if the metal detector beeps, no one can be allowed inside.

“Whenever it beeped, we told students to remove what they have.”

The suspension came a day after authorities in the state initiated a probe into allegations that an 18-year-old student was forced to remove her bra at the school that acted as one of the various exam centers as part of stringent measures to stop cheating in NEET.

Kannur’s District Collector M.M. Ali said that he would look into the allegations, while the State Human Rights Commission condemned the incident and also sought a report from the district authorities.
