  We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the
gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by a non
self-similar higher dimensional Tolman spacetime. The necessary condition for
the formation of a naked singularity or a black hole is obtained. The naked
singularities are found to be gravitationally strong in the sense of Tipler and
provide another example that violates the cosmic censorship conjecture.
