Students block road

Angry Students, mostly girls, blocked a road in Infocity area here today after local TV channels aired reports about alleged sexual assault of a girl student of a premier institute.

However, the road blockade was lifted and the situation brought under control after a few hours as police as well as the authorities termed the report as baseless and maintained no girl student had been raped or molested.

Bhubaneswar DCP Satyabrata Bhoi rejected the allegation of rape. "No such incident has taken place. There is no rape victim as alleged," Bhoi told reporters.
