Ryan Murder Case: Court to hear bail plea of bus conductor Ashoke at 2 p.m. on Thursday

Gurgaon, Nov 16 (IBNS): The court will hear the bail plea of bus conductor Ashoke Kumar, who was arrested on charges of murdering a seven-year old Pradyuman Thakur in Ryan International School, at 2 p.m. on Thursday, media reports said.

Ashoke's lawyer had traveled from Rohtak to Gurgaon to file the bail plea on Nov. 11.

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.
