NEET aspirant alleges invigilator kept staring at her, files complaint
What's the story
A NEET aspirant from Kerala approached cops after an invigilator kept staring at her 'inappropriately' during the entrance exam.
Shockingly, the girl was also asked to remove her bra, before entering the hall, as it had metal hooks capable of setting off the metal detector.
The girl appeared for the exam at Lion's school at Koppam in Kerala's Palakkad district.

CBSE asked NEET aspirants to follow a strict dress-code before sitting for the examination.
