"Are you a Brahmin? Which cream do you apply to your face?", allegedly these are the questions from the viva exam held at Sagar Dutta Medical College and Hospital in Kamarhati, West Bengal. On September 8, this was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the media-in-charge of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) in the state, Deccan Herald reported.

According to the video, a female student from the college is seen saying that the male students who went before and after her had short viva rounds. While she was asked about her mother and father. Additionally, she was also asked, "Are you a Brahmin? Which cream do you apply to your face? What do you put on your lips?"

The video also shows how the students were outraged against the administration regarding the same matter.

According to ABP News, this incident happened days after the principal of the institution said that several students and outsiders created a ruckus. It is learnt that the vandalism and ruckus took place due to the non-availability of hostels and their allotment.
