A video allegedly showing the security screening process during the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Examination has gone viral on social media, triggering debate over the frisking methods used at examination centres.
In the clip, security personnel can be seen inserting handheld metal detectors into the mouths of candidates during the screening process before entry into the examination venue.
Sharing the video on X, one user wrote, "This is security checking for a job which pays ?40,000 starting gross salary. If Donald Trump's US Secret Service took lessons from Jaunpur police, they could stop three assassination attempts on him."
The user further commented, "This is the UP constable exam. So you can guess how these constables, once selected, will behave with people."
Several social media users expressed concern over the hygiene and health implications of the procedure. One X user wrote, "Is this how frisking is supposed to be done? The security staff is literally putting the metal detector in his mouth. Forget the exam for a moment, this is a great way to spread infections among candidates."
ET has not independently verified the clip.
