Parrikar seeks explation on recruitment exam, army denies

New Delhi, March 1: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has sought an explation from the army regarding its recruitment rally in Bihar where candidates were made to appear in the written test in their briefs, highly placed sources said on Tuesday. The sources said on Tuesday that a report was sought by Parrikar after pictures of candidates appeared in the media regarding the recruitment rally in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar. An army spokesperson in Delhi, however, denied any explation has been sought. Over 1,000 candidates for clerical posts were on Sunday asked to sit for the test in their undergarments to prevent cheating. (IANS)
