Days after mid-day highlighted the way male candidates of the police recruitment process in the city were forced to sleep in the open at Aarey Milk Colony, it has come to the fore that female aspirants are also facing a similar situation. In the absence of basic facilities, the women are being forced to sleep in an open space, about 100 metres from the Marol police camp.
