Ryan murder case: Hearing of bail plea of bus conductor Ashoke on Nov. 16
Gurgaon, Nov 16 (IBNS): The bail plea of bus conductor Ashoke, who was arrested on charges of murdering a seven-year old Pradyuman Thakur in Ryan International School, will be heard on Nov. 16, media reports said.
Ashoke's lawyer had traveled from Rohtak to Gurgaon to file the bail plea.
"I have filed the bail application for Ashok Kumar. The court has accepted the plea and given the date of November 16 (Thursday) for the hearing. The court wants to hear CBI's version of events before granting bail," the lawyer told The Times of India.
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, the suspect's father had said that his son was wrongly framed but on 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.
