Ryan Murder Case: Bus conductor Ashoke gets bail
Chandigarh, Nov 21 (IBNS): Bus conductor Ashoke, who was arrested for allegedly murdering a seven-year old Pradyuman Thakur in Ryan International School, got bail on Tuesday, media reports said.
The bail was granted by a civic court.
Ashoke earlier confessed that he was the one who killed Pradyuman.
Apart from Ashoke, the police has suspected a class 11 student of the same school to have committed the crime.
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.
