JASIN: The investigation paper on the alleged sexual assault involving four Form Five male students against a Form Three female student at a secondary school in Alor Gajah has been referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP).

Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said a decision on whether the students will be charged is expected to be known on Wednesday (Oct 15).
