A leading school in the southern Indian state of Kerala on Tuesday suspended four of its teachers for harassing girl students over dress code during a national - level medical entrance examination Sunday .
“ 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 centres as part of stringent measures to stop cheating in NEET.
“ My daughter went inside the centre only to return a few minutes later to hand over her bra .
“ As she entered the centre , the metal detector at the gate beeped due to the metal strap of the bra .
“ Many others were forced to undergo the same ordeal.
“ She was told to remove the innerwear for security , to prevent cheating , ” one of the student ’ s mother said .
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 .
