In Madhya Pradesh, Candidates Marked "SC/ST" During Medical Exam For Police Recruitment | Read

Candidates appearing for the post of police constable in Madhya Pradesh had their castes stamped on their chests during the physical examination on Saturday. When the candidates queued up for the medical test at the district hospital in Dhar, they were segregated on the basis of their castes "to avoid confusion". The minimum height for general category candidates is 168 cms, and 165 cms for reserved categories. But there seems to be no clarity on whose idea was it to scribble SC/ST on their bodies and who executed it. None of the candidates objected to it or filed a complaint.
