I think he (medical student) used the opportunity for his practicals! It is an "anatomical analysis" for his report.

This youth would have forgotten that he has a mom. Youth should think opportunities are more in future to accompany their wifes and daughters to similar carnivals. via DM Android App

IF YOU WEAR INDECENT CLOTHES THAT IS WHY THESE TYPES OF THINGS COULD NATURALLY HAPPEN. THIS IS A LESSON FOR ALL WOMEN TO COVER THEIR MODESTY

Maybe he was a Gyno and wanted some practice?

Zauri Wednesday, 04 January 2017 10:48 AM

When he becomes a doctor, he will be Lankan Johnny Sin.

Concerned Wednesday, 04 January 2017 10:46 AM

If this is true he should be sacked from medical college as we don't want Doctors who are perverts. If not very soon there is going to be another story of him being published after he becomes a Doctor

Muthukarupan Wednesday, 04 January 2017 10:44 AM

If this kind of perverts become doctors what would happened to their female patients?

Sure Wednesday, 04 January 2017 10:23 AM

I know exactly why he wants to become a Doctor.
