It may be noted that the girl students reside in the hostel of the Porta Cabin residential school in Sukma district.
The girls ate food and slept at night. An unknown young man came in the night and raped the girl. When the girl students woke up, the accused ran away. Later, the family members of the girl came to the hostel and took her home with them.
After the matter reached the police, they started searching for the accused.
There are many CCTV cameras installed in the hostel where the girl students live, but all are switched off. Due to this, the police had to struggle a lot to find the accused. Finally, the police managed to arrest the culprit, and the girl student has identified the accused.
