The police spokesperson Ajith Rohana confirmed on Thursday that a 14 year old girl in Mannar had been sexually assaulted by a Sri Lankan army soldier, reports BBC Tamil.

The attack took place at the beginning of this month said Rohana, adding that a complaint had been filed with the police four days after.

A medical examination by the legal medical officer confirmed the 14 year old had been sexually assaulted, he added.

Locals reported the girl, who had gone to buy rotti (flat bread) from an army-run shop by the military camp in Mannar, was seen being taken away into the bushes by the soldier.
