Gauhati HC rules that attempted anal penetration through physical manipulation, even without injury or spermatozoa, falls under penetrative sexual assault under Section 3(c) of the POCSO Act. The court upheld the conviction and directed victim compensation, reinforcing the statutory interpretation of 'penetrative sexual assault' to include non-consensual acts beyond completed penetration.
