Ryan murder case: CBI opposes bus conductor Ashoke's bail plea

Gurugram, Nov 16 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has opposed the bail plea of bus conductor Ashoke, who was arrested on charges of murdering a seven-year old Pradyuman Thakur in Ryan International School, during the hearing in the court on Thursday, media reports said.

According to an India Today report, the CBI told the court: "We are yet to receive reports like chemical reports and other inputs. So, we can't really give a clean chit to him."

"When we will get all reports and our investigation is completed, only then we can decide on Ashok Kumar," the CBI said.

Though Ashoke had confessed his act of murdering the seven-year old boy,  the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) apprehended a class XI student of the same school in connection with the murder. The senior student eventually was arrested.

Being a juvenile, his name was not disclosed.

After a CBI probe it appeared Ashoke was possibly framed for a crime he did not commit.

The CBI has revealed that Gurgaon police had planted the murder weapon, a knife, that was used to kill seven-year old Pradyuman Thakur in Ryan International School, on bus conductor Ashok Kumar.

According to the CBI, the weapon belonged to the class XI student.

The teenager allegedly wanted to impede the approaching exams and parent teacher meeting and hence killed the boy.

Earlier, Ashoke's father had said that his son was wrongly framed but on last Thursday the latter confessed to his crime in front of his father, said reports.

Ashoke's family has said that they will now file a case against the cops for planting evidence against him, reports said.
