Ryan murder: SC to hear plea on school safety
September 15, 2017
The Supreme Court today will hear a plea filed by two women lawyers
seeking implementation of the existing guidelines to ensure safety and
security of children in schools.
A bench, headed by CJI Dipak Misra and Justices Amitava Roy and AM
Khanwilkar, said that it has already issued a notice on a similar plea
filed by the father of the child, who was killed at the Ryan
International School.
In its plea, they sought the implementation of various existing guidelines on the safety of school-going children.
The
Supreme Court earlier had issued notice to the Centre, the Haryana
Government and the state's Director General (DG) of Police, the Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the CBI on a plea seeking a
probe by the central agency into the murder of a seven-year-old boy
inside the Ryan International School.
After this, the CBSE issued
a circular mentioning guidelines to be adopted by all schools for
ensuring the safety of the students.
The CBSE, in its circular,
directed schools to install CCTV cameras, ensure police verification of
staff and regulate entry of outsiders in school building.
Seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur was found dead inside the toilet of the Ryan International school, with his throat slit.
