Delhi government allows finger test for examining sexual assault victims

Delhi Health department has issued guidelines allowing the finger test, also known as the per vaginal test, for medical examination of sexual assault victims when it is deemed necessary. The department stated that a complete ban on the test “may result in injustice”, after the Central Information Commission (CIC) had asked the Delhi government earlier this year to clarify if the test is still being performed in the city. The guidelines circulated to all hospitals on May 31 were formulated by a three-member committee, including two gynaecologists and a forensic medicine specialist.
