PANJIM: Ossification test on the four girls from Mumbai, who were rescued by police from three alleged traffickers, is being conducted at the Goa Medical College, informed police sources. Tiswadi sub-divisional magistrate, Mr Shabaji Shetye had given his nod to the police to carry out the age verification test on Tuesday.
Earlier, the girls had refused to undergo the test at the Goa Medical College due to which the police felt that they could be minors. Thereafter, the police had sought order from Tiswadi sub-divisional magistrate, Mr Shabaji Shetye to carry out the age verification test.
