Bhopal, Apr 29 (IBNS): A controversy erupted when several candidates, who appeared for the  medical test for the constable’s job in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar area, were allegedly marked with ‘SC’, ‘ST’ and ‘OBC’ on their chests, media reports said on Sunday.

The photographs of this medical test procedure has gone viral online.

In the image, candidates could be seen standing with their castes being marked on chest.

Birendra Kumar Singh, Dhar superintendent of police, said an inquiry has been initiated into the incident.

He was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times: "An inquiry has been initiated. Those found guilty will be punished ."

The Congress attacked the Madhya Pradesh government, ruled by the BJP, over the incident.

"Sangh Brotherhood claims that casteism is dead. Their own Govt in MP practices it. And quite blatantly," the Congress tweeted.
