Ryan school murder: CBI to probe 4 Gurugram SIT members for early misinterpretation

The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday decided to probe four members of Gurugram Special Investigation Team (SIT) who investigated Pradyuman murder case. It investigated as to why the early investigation was misinterpreted.

Earlier on November 8, the CBI said that a class XI student of Ryan International School killed seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur to postpone school examinations and parent teachers meeting.

In a sensational twist to the case, the agency announced that it had apprehended a senior student of Ryan International School on Tuesday night in connection with the murder of Pradyuman Thakur, rejecting the Gurugram police's theory that the killing was the handiwork of Ashok Kumar.

The CBI has said that there was no evidence against Kumar so far.

Opposition party also attacked the BJP government and Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar over the "shoddy" police probe.

Bus conductor Ashok Kumar was arrested by Gurugram police in connection with Pradyuman’s murder.

The Gurgaon Police arrested Ashok in hurry and even Khattar congratulated the team for cracking case the same day.

Gurgaon Police Commissioner Sandeep Khairwar declared in a press meet on September 10 that Ashok was the killer and that he had tried to sexually assault Pradyuman.
