The Delhi government sought to downplay and ban the controversial "two-finger test" on rape survivors. The test was misinterpreted and an archaic method for ascertaining sexual assault. The government will issue a fresh notification to completely ban the test and adopt more scientific methods. This comes after the government advisory allowing the test led to major controversy and criticism from opposition parties and activists who called it insensitive. The health minister clarified that medical professionals should not perform the "finger test".
