Women constables oppose order of pregnancy test
Health checkup of all the girls training as constables was to be done. DIG Rohan P had also ordered pregnancy test of women constables in the health checkup. Medical team was called for this. According to sources, women constables got angry about the pregnancy test. However, now the order of pregnancy test of unmarried women constables has been canceled.
As per the rules, during police training, pregnancy tests are conducted on married women. If a female constable is pregnant, she can apply for training later. Unmarried girls, on the other hand, have to give an affidavit that they are not pregnant.
