Thiruvananthapuram/IBNS: A police case has been filed against those who forced girls appearing for the National Eligibility Entrance Test or NEET to remove their bra to be allowed inside the examination centre in Kerala's Kollam district, media reports said.

Police said a case has been filed under Indian Penal Code Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) on the basis of a complaint by a girl who attended the exam in Kollam's Ayur.

The incident came to light Monday after the father of a 17-year-old girl said his daughter was unable to recover from the trauma she went through at the examination centre.

Her father said the girl was wearing clothes as per the NEET guidelines which had no mention of undergarments.

The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has ordered a probe into the incident.
