A black girl student who was taken out of her school exam hall in London and strip-searched after being wrongly suspected of carrying drugs is suing the Met Police, according to a BBC report.</p>
<p>
The 15-year-old, also known as Child Q, is also taking civil action against her school, the law firm Bhatt Murphy said.</p>
<p>
Scotland Yard has apologised after a subsequent report found the search was unjustified and racism was &quot;likely&quot; to have been a factor.</p>
<p>
During the incident, the girl was taken out of an exam to the school&#39;s medical room and strip-searched by two female Met police officers searching for cannabis.</p>
<p>
Her intimate body parts were exposed and she was made to take off her sanitary towel, according to the review. No drugs were found, BBC reported.</p>
<p>
The girl&rsquo;s lawyers said she wanted &quot;cast-iron commitments to ensure this never happens again&quot;.</p>
<p>
In a statement, she said: &quot;I want to thank the thousands of people across the world of all backgrounds who have offered me support – both publicly and through messages conveyed to my legal team – following everything I&#39;ve been through.</p>
<p>
Hundreds of people attended a protest organised at the police station.</p>
<p>
According to media reports, the victim&#39;s mother told the safeguarding review that after the strip-search, her daughter had been &quot;asked to go back into the exam&quot; but no teacher bothered to ask about her welfare.</p>
