The Gurugram Police today summoned the owners of Ryan International School for interrogation on 26th September in connection with murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur on school campus on September 8.


The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday had denied anticipatory bail to the founding chairman of Ryan International Group of Institutions Augustine Pinto, the groups managing director Grace Pinto and their son Ryan Pinto. The case has been adjourned for Monday.


On September 8, Pradhyumn Thakur, a Class 2 student was found dead inside a toilet of Ryan International School with his throat slit after. A school bus conductor Ashok Kumar believed to be present in the toilet when the boy entered and caught in security footage leaving it, has been arrested.


The school has been accused of serious lapses in security. The schoolboy's murder jolted the nation and has led to a series of security measures recommended for schools across the country.

The killing is being investigated by the CBI after Pradyuman's parents alleged that the police investigation was not up to the mark.
