Abstract
Gravitational collapse of radiation shells in a non-self-similar higher dim ensional spherically symmetric space-time is studied. Strong curvature nake d singularities form a highly inhomogeneous collapse, violating the cosmic censorship conjecture. As a special case, self similar models can be constr ucted.
