MUMBAI: Four proctors—two each from Gurgaon and Bengaluru—who allegedly harassed girl students from a premier city management institute after remotely proctoring their exams, have been terminated from their service by their agency. While the Gurgaon-based agency said it had reported the matter to the police, the institute is yet to file a complaint. The institute has set up an internal committee to investigate the complaints.
TOI on Saturday had reported how girl students from the institute were allegedly stalked and harassed by individuals claiming to be their proctors on personal numbers after exams. While many have criticized the institute for compromising students’ personal details, officials from the institute and the firm, Mercer Mettl, said personal data of students are not shared with the proctors. An institute official told TOI the students are expected to show their college identity cards (which carry their numbers) on camera for a few seconds before the exam starts, to ensure dummy candidates are not appearing in their place.
