Gurgaon, Sep 9 (IBNS): The accused in the Gurgaon school murder case, Ashok Kumar, said that he killed the boy because the latter refused to have sex with the 42-year old, reports said.

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

Meanwhile, the victim's mother questioned the school's inability to protect her son.

She was quoted in the media as saying, "The school could not even ensure basic safety for my son, how will then parents send children to school."

The seven-year old boy, identified as Pradyuman, was found dead inside his school's toilet with his throat slit.

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

Following an investigation, the police later arrested the bus conductor.

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."

However, playing down the claim, Neeraj Batra, the school head 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."

A large mob, consisting of parents led by the victim's father, have gathered outside Police Commissioner's office demanding action against the school.

Another set of crowd are protesting outside the school.
