In a shocking incident, medical tests of female and male candidates appearing for the ongoing recruitment drive in the Madhya Pradesh Police were allegedly conducted in the same room at the Bhind District Hospital on Tuesday.
The matter came to light after a video of male applicants stripped to their undergarments standing in front of a female candidate surfaced on social media. The video showed two male doctors sitting in front of a table, two male applicants, wearing underwear, standing close to one of the doctors to get height and chest measured, a male constable watching the procedure of the medical test and a female applicant allegedly waiting for her turn to undergo the test in the hospital room. No women doctors or nurses are seen in the footage.
Dr. Ajit Mishra, civil surgeon of Bhind District Hospital, said: “We have ordered an inquiry into the incident and have issued warning letters to all the team members of the examination committee.”
“Today, we have deputed one lady doctor and one nurse for the medical tests,” he added.
