Ryan student murder: School reopens today, victim’s father says evidence might get erased

An eight-year-old boy was killed inside a toilet at Ryan International School in Bhondsi near Gurgaon. A bus driver has been arrested for the murder, and the case is being handled by the CBI.

As the Ryan International School in Gurgaon is all set to reopen on Monday, the father of the boy who was found murdered in the washroom of the school, said reopening of the school will erase all evidence about the case.

On September 8, the boy was found with his throat slit in the washroom of the school in Bhondsi on the Sohna road. A school bus driver, Ashok Kumar has been arrested in connection with the case.

“The boy’s father expressed concern that reopening of the school will erase all the evidence related to the case. This will also have direct consequences on the CBI’s investigation,” his lawyer Susheel Tekriwala told IANS.

“Due to this, the school should remain close till the investigations are not completed,” he added.

Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Friday that the investigation of the brutal killing was being handed over to the CBI.
