UP: FIR against school-cum-madrassa for 'demanding virginity test' for 13-year-old's admission

NEW DELHI: Police lodged an FIR against a school-cum-madrassa here based on a man's complaint that her 13-year-old daughter was asked to submit a "virginity test" report for admission into the institute. According to police, the class 8 student had not been attending the institute for a prolonged period without notifying the school administration.

When the father, who hails from Chandigarh but currently resides in Moradabad, later approached the boarding school for her re-enrolment, authorities allegedly refused admission and demanded a "virginity test" report.
