THE investigation report by Koraput administration has ruled out sexual assault of a minor girl student in the hostel of Guneipada Sevashram in Lamtaput block on April 13.

However, it revealed gross negligence and absence of security measures as an unidentified man entered the 100-seater girls' hostel on two occasions in the absence of hostel authorities. On both the occasions, the boarders saw the man and chased him away.

Though the miscreant had entered the girls' hostel unlawfully in the night, the security lapses were never brought to the notice of police, local administration or ST & SC Development department by the hostel authorities.
