Ryan International murder case: Principal arrested, school to remain shut

Gurgaon, Sep 11 (IBNS): Days after a seven-year-old boy was found murdered inside a toilet in Gurgaon's Ryan International School, police have arrested the academy's principal for negligence, along with several other teachers, reports said.

Classes have been suspended as the school has been ordered to down its shutters for now.

However, exceptions have been made for class six and class 12 students, who are due to appear for exams from Wednesday.

On Sunday, the protest turned violent as the angry mob set ablaze a liquor shop near the school.

As the dissent swelled up, police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the mob.

The police have also questioned several other teachers and following a preliminary investigation, serious security lapses have been reported against the school.

According to the report, not all the installed surveillance camera is functional inside the school.

Workers and students shared the same toilet and the school did zilch in terms of background check while recruiting a staff.

Meanwhile, the victim's parents have demanded a CBI probe, a call the Haryana government has welcomed.

Amid a growing dissent against their academy, Ryan Pinto, CEO of Ryan International Schools Group, has urged the people to not hold them "culpable of a crime where it is itself a victim of unfortunate circumstances."

The victim, Pradyuman Thakur, was murdered by a school bus conductor, Ashok, for refusing to having sex with the latter.

He was arrested the same night.
