According to local media such as The Hindu, a university in Rotak, Haryana, India convened female sanitation workers on their day off. It was intended to beautify the environment ahead of the governor of Haryana's visit to campus.
However, three female street cleaners asked for a vacation because they were on their period.
In response, male bosses asked for an obstetric examination or sent photos of sanitary pads.
Female beautician A argued that "3 people were suspected of having menstruation at the same time, and when they refused to submit photos, they were even threatened with insulting remarks and dismissal threats.' In the end, the two couldn't overcome the pressure and sent photos of sanitary pads.
One of them was even instructed by a male boss to check the menstruation of his colleagues" he revealed.
When the news broke, female street cleaners, trade unions and student groups protested within the university.
The police are investigating two male bosses and a deputy director-level administrative staff on charges of damaging women's dignity and threatening them.
The school suspended the male employees from their duties and ordered the internal investigation committee to find out the truth about sexual harassment on campus.
In a statement, the school said it would not tolerate acts that undermine the safety and dignity of female employees"We will create a culturally sensitive and respectful working environment." he said.
