Ryan's class 11 student killed junior to postpone exam: CBI



NEW DELHI: The day after school bus conductor Ashok Kumar was arrested by Gurgaon police for the murder of 7-year-old Ryan International School student Pradhyumn Thakur, TOI had asked in a headline, "Have cops got the right man? Pradhyumn's father doesn't think so."

Barun Thakur may have been right.

The probe into the most sensational murder case in recent times turned on its head on Wednesday when the CBIidentified a 16-year-old Class 11 student of the same school — the Ryan campus in Gurgaon's Bhondsi — as the prime suspect. The motive? The boy, according to the agency, wanted to defer an exam that day and postpone a parent-teacher meeting (PTM) and had allegedly been exploring ways of doing it.

A senior CBI officer said the accused student (name withheld) "planned the murder to simply postpone the exam, which was going on at the time, and the scheduled PTM" as he believed something big would force the authorities to shut the school".

The central agency virtually gave a clean chit to Kumar , who Gurgaon police had claimed committed the murder while trying to sexually assault the child. The CBI said it had not found anything against Kumar or any sign of a sexual assault attempt on Pradhyumn, as cops had claimed.

Pradhyumn, a Class 2 student, was found with his throat slit just outside the groundfloor washroom of the school on September 8 morning, minutes after his father had walked him and his elder sister Vidhi (who is in the fifth standard) to the campus. Pradhyumn had gone to his classroom after saying bye to Vidhi, and then to the washroom at the other end of the floor.

The CBI officer said the Class 11 student "lured Pradhyum inside on the pretext of discussing something important, and within seconds, slit his throat". "Somebody was going to die that day. He came prepared that he was going to use the knife he was carrying on someone. Pradhyumn just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," the officer added.

"I went blank and just did it," is what the boy reportedly told CBI sleuths during questioning. The same knife, which CBI described as the "murder weapon", was shown by Gurgaon police as used by Ashok Kumar, the central agency said. The agency said it is verifying from the accused's classmates, friends and teachers whether he carried a knife two days before the murder as well and feared teachers may complain to his parents in the next PTM. The knife was recovered by Gurgaon police from a commode in the toilet.

CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said the accused was "weak in studies", hence wanted the ongoing exams and PTM postponed. The CBI said its investigators zeroed in on the Class 11 student as the "prime suspect" after repeated inspection of the crime spot, scrutiny of CCTV footage, call records and questioning several people, including teachers, other students and staff.
