NEET Bra Removing Row: After NTA denied incident, 5 women arrested

With protests intensifying, five women were arrested in Kerala for allegedly forcing girl students, who appeared for the medical entrance exam NEET, to remove their bras during frisking even as a fact-finding committee was constituted to look into the allegations. Earlier, the National Testing Agency (NTA) rubbished the claims of a 17-year-old student that she was asked to remove her innerwear on Sunday.

While three of the arrested women worked for an agency hired by the NTA, two worked for the private educational institution at Ayur in Kollam where the incident happened. 

The state police registered a case based on the complaint of the girl, who alleged that she was asked to remove her bra before she could be permitted to appear for the eligibility test.
