CBSE issues show cause notice to Ryan International School's Gurugram branch; asks to reply within 15 days

The Central Board of Secondary Education on Saturday issued show cause notice to Ryan International School in Gurugram. The CBSE asks school to come up with a reply within 15 days.

A 7-year-old boy Pradyuman Thakur was found murdered inside the school campus last Friday.

The Supreme Court had also issued a notice to Centre and all the states. The apex court has sought their reply within three weeks.

Placing the onus on schools for the safety of students on their premises, the CBSE had also issued new security-related guidelines to be implemented by the institutions, failing which they would face derecognition.

The school authority has been scrutinised by Haryana police. Haryana police handed over 8-page long questionnaire to Ausgustine Pinto, Grace Pinto and Ryan Pinto who hold different positions in the Ryan International School.

The postmortem report of Pradyuman Thakur revealed that “shock and hemorrhage” were the causes of his death. The report also added that external injury caused by single-edged sharp weapon and its consequences were enough to cause death in a normal case of nature.
