Gurugram school horror: CBSE forms inquiry panel

September 09, 2017 17:27

The Central Board of Secondary Education today formed a two-member fact finding committee to probe the killing of a 7-year- old student in Gurugram's Ryan International School and sought a report from its management within two days.

The move by the Central Board of Secondary Education comes following outrage among parents after the student was found with his throat slit in the school washroom yesterday.

"A two-member fact finding committee has been set up to enquire into the tragic murder of the student in the school premises. The school has also been asked to submit a report within two days along with the copy of the FIR," a senior board official said.

Earlier today, the acting principal of Ryan International School was suspended and all the security staff were removed.

Angry parents and locals gathered outside the school premises this morning and protested for over two hours demanding a CBI probe into the gruesome murder while expressing dissatisfaction over the investigation being

carried out by the Gurugram Police.

They also demanded that the school management be booked for the killing of the boy.

The police said the Class II student was allegedly killed by a bus conductor, Ashok Kumar, who tried to sexually abuse him. The accused was arrested hours after the gruesome murder.
