Two CRPF inspectors who cleared every round of a promotion examination were turned away at the final medical stage, rejected solely because of tattoos on their right forearms. They went to the Delhi High Court. The court has now dismissed both their petitions.
The two petitioners, Ankit Maan and Pradhan Choudhary, were both serving inspectors in the Central Reserve Police Force. Maan had joined as a Sub Inspector in 2012 and was promoted to Inspector in 2022. Choudhary had joined as a Constable in 2010 and was promoted to Inspector in 2023.
