Ryan murder case: Bus conductor's family to file case against cops
Gurugram, Nov 10 (IBNS): A day after it was evident that bus conductor Ashok Kumar was wrongly framed in the highly publicised Ryan International School murder case, his family has said that they will now file a case against the cops for planting evidence against him, reports said.
"Now it is almost clear that my son Ashok was framed and made a scapegoat. We have decided to file a case against Gurugram Police SIT officers who framed and used torture and even drugged him to confess before the media that he had committed the crime," Ashok's father Amirchand was quoted as saying by Firstpost.
"Villagers are with us and they all want us to demand justice for Ashok and action against irresponsible police officials," he added.
Gurugram police had planted the murder weapon, a knife, on Ashok and arrested him within hours of the murder and declared the case closed, a CBI probe has revealed.
The Central Bureau of Investigation officers have stated that the probe by Gurugram police was done in haste and contained several loopholes.
A CBI officer was quoted by the Times of India as saying, "The knife was bought by the juvenile from a local shop and he brought it with him inside the school. This is the only knife which was recovered and so the claim of Gurgaon police that Ashok Kumar brought it inside the school and used it to kill the boy has no basis whatsoever."
Almost two months after class two student Pradyuman Thakur was murdered inside the toilet of Ryan International School's Gurugram branch, the CBI apprehended a 16-year-old boy in connection with the murder.
Being a juvenile, his name was not disclosed but was identified as a class 11 student.
The teenager 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 f his father.
"He has confessed in front of his father, an independent witness and welfare officer of the CBI," the official added.
"He has disclosed that he slit the throat within seconds and left the toilet. There was no resistance from Pradhyumn whatsoever as he didn't get time to react," the officer said.
According to reports, the CBI has dismissed Ashok Kumar from the case but has refrained from giving out further details.
