Ryan School Trustees' get interim protection from Bombay High Court

School's founding chairman, Augustine Pinto, and his wife Grace Pinto, who is the managing director of the institution, had along with their son Ryan Pinto sought anticipatory bail.

The school's management has been in the centre of a storm since the gruesome murder of a seven-year-old student inside the institute premises in Gurgaon on Friday last.

Pradyuman Thakur, a class two student, was found dead in a pool of blood inside the washroom with his throat slit open.

A conductor of the school's bus was arrested in connection with the incident. He allegedly confessed to have committed the crime after failing to sexually abuse the child.

As a massive outrage prevailed over the shocking incident, police have  arrested two top officials of the school while the Supreme Court has accepted a petition from the victim's father for a CBI probe into it.

Meanwhile, according to media reports, the special investigation team of the Haryana police, which is at present investigating into the case, suspects involvement of a third person.

The SIT reportedly suspects that a person, other than Ashok Kumar, the arrested bus conductor, may have escaped from one of the broken windows of the toilet in the ground floor.

The crime took place within 10 minutes after Pradyuman was dropped at the school by his father.

Media reports have quoted school bu,s  driver Raghav, as claiming that  the police and the school management forced him to give a wrong statement against the innocent conductor that the knife, which was allegedly used in the crime, was part of tool kit and kept in the bus.

Raghav reportedly  alleged he was beaten up and tortured in police custody to give the statement.
