The Haryana Government on Tuesday recommended that the Centre transfer the case of the murder of seven-year-old Pradhyumn Thakur to the CBI for further investigation, hours after it was revealed that probe agency was not contacted in this regard.


Haryana Home Secretary SS Prasad confirmed to ANI that the recommendation was indeed made to the government of India.


"The Haryana Government has recommended Government of India to transfer the case of Pradyuman Thakur to the CBI for further investigation," Prasad said.In this regard, he also wrote a letter to the CBI to initiate the investigation.


Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar had promised a CBI investigation into the murder a week ago.


However, the CBI, earlier in the day, stated that it did not receive any notification from the Haryana Government to take up the investigation.


Meanwhile, the school, which opened on Monday -- 10 days after the murder of Pradhyumn -- has been shut down again for a week.


The Punjab and Haryana High Court has declined the hearing of anticipatory bail application of Ryan Pinto, Grace Pinto and Francis Pinto - owners of the Ryan International Group.


On September 8, Pradhyumn was found dead inside the toilet of the Ryan International School, Gurugram, with his throat slit.
