Ghaziabad: A girl student, appearing in the class X exams of Uttar Pradesh board, was allegedly strip-searched by invigilators at a college here suspecting that she was carrying chits for copying, police said on Friday.
The girl was writing the English paper of the UP Intermediate Education Board (UPIEB) exams in Rukmani Modi Mahila Inter College in Modinagar, 20 kms from here, when the incident took place on Thursday.
Police said they received a complaint from the girl's family that the invigilators made her remove her clothes to search for chits being carried for copying.
Nothing was found in the search but the girl could not complete the paper because of the incident, they said.
Parents and family members of the girl staged a protest in the college and approached the police.
Principal of the college Kamlesh Gaud then tendered an unconditional apology to the parents of the girl and closed the matter with an assurance that full protection will be given to all girls appearing in the examination.
"We have apologised for the incident, which has been accepted by the parents. The matter has been resolved," Gaud said.
Inspector R K Singh of Modinagar police station said no action was taken as the two parties resolved the issue.
"We had received a complaint from the girl's family. The matter was later disposed of amicably and the police did not interfere," he said.
