Ryan School Murder: SC Notice On Plea Seeking Better Security, CBI/SIT Probe

The Supreme Court today issued notice to Centre, Haryana and all states on a petition filed by father of a 7 year old boy murdered inside the toilet of Ryan International School in Gurgaon seeking better safety and security measures in all schools across the country.

Centre and Haryana government have to reply separately on demand for a CBI or SIT probe into the murder.

The notice seeking a reply was issued by a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra.

"The petition prays for improving the security and safety in all schools.It prays for effective steps so that no one is effected. It also prays for further guidelines to be followed countrywide. Issue notice".

The father said he suspects some past connection which led to the murder because there was no reason for the conductor to kill his son. Police needs to check the CCTV footages of past few days also, he said.“I am not unhappy with the police investigation but I want a detailed investigation as there is something which is missing in the probe. There are a lot of loopholes which need to be investigated and CBI can do in-depth investigation which will clear the motive of the murder,” father, who works as quality control manager in a crafts company in Gurgaon had earlier told the media.

Thakur said he was not convinced with the probe so far which suggests the murder was committed on the spur of the moment. “The murder took place within 10 minutes which means the conductor was already prepared to kill my son. As soon as the kid entered the toilet, the accused attacked him”, he had said.

“If the conductor has no criminal history then how did he plan the murder? What instigated him to kill my son? Why did he take a knife with him only on that day?” he had asked.He said the police have added section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act against school management but he demanded that the police should also add section 304 (death by negligence) of the IPC.
