At least 7-8 girl students taking their Class 12 examination at a centre here have alleged frisking by members of a flying squad in an ‘objectionable’ manner on the suspicion of cheating, prompting the Divisional Commissioner to launch a probe into the matter on Friday.
The girl students, along with their parents, approached the top revenue department officials, including Collector and Narmadapuram Divisional Commissioner Virendra Kumar Batham Thursday evening with their grievance following which he ordered a probe. The complainants, who have accused the flying squad for the episode, were writing their Science paper at the Hardu examination centre here on March 17 when they arrived there and allegedly began 'searching' the girls in an objectionable way to check on cheating. The girls demanded that the guilty should be punished. Subsequently, Commissioner nominated District Additional Collector as head of the inquiry panel.
