Ryan student murder: Protesters turn violent, set ablaze liquor shop near school

Earlier in the day, protesters gathered in large number outside the school premises demanding a CBI probe into the case.

According to reports, police have resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the people protesting outside the school.

The accused in the case, Ashok Kumar, is currently in the police custody.

Police have said that the accused, who is a conductor of the school bus, had confessed to killing the class two student after a failed attempt to “sexually abuse” the child.

According to media reports, the conductor’s family had claimed that  he is being framed.

On Saturday, the school authorities  suspended principal Neerja Batra while police took action against the security agency of the school.

The incident took place a little before 8 am on Friday morning.

The accused has been working in Ryan International School for the last eight years and is  a resident of Ghamroj village in Gurgaon.

The victim's father said that he saw his son's body an hour after dropping him off at the school gate.

Holding the school authorities responsible, the grieving father was quoted in the media as saying, "My son had told me that the bus conductor would use the bathrooms. Does the school not take into account this kind of gross misconduct? The bigger culprits are the school authorities who mint money like an industry."

Playing down the claim, the principal had told The Indian Express, "There are many times when we undertake surprise checks. This was an unfortunate incident and we are cooperating with the police. We want the culprits to be brought to justice."
