“That report is false. Bandits entered the school and raped over 30 female students? Our findings show that the report is not true,” said Ramhan Nansel, the state police public relations officer.

The police contacted the institution’s chief security officer and information officer, as well as some students, and none confirmed any such incident. “We also got across to the Chief Security Officer of the institution and the information officer of the school, who said there was no reported incident of such,” Nansel added.

However, the police confirmed a report of a robbery incident in the student village area on July 27. “One cellphone, a power bank, and a handbag belonging to a student named Jennifer were stolen. One male student was also injured while trying to escape. There was no report of rape,” Nansel said.

A student leader at the institution also condemned the claim as fake and misleading, saying the attack involved cases of robbery, but not mass rape. According to the student leader, only one student was allegedly raped after being found naked in her room
