New Delhi, Dec 13: The Gurugram Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Wednesday rejected a plea by the juvenile accused in the Ryan International school student Pradyuman Thakur’s murder case. The accused filed a plea asking the Juvenile Justice Board to delay its verdict on the plea of Pradyuman Thakur’s father that the juvenile be tried as an adult. The board also allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take fingerprints of the 16-year-old accused.
The Class XI student, who is accused of murdering seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur, was produced before the JJB again on Wednesday. The board will hear accused’s bail plea on Friday. The accused has been lodged in Faridabad’s observation home. Earlier, a session court granted bail to bus conductor Ashok Kumar, who was arrested by the Haryana Police on the charge of killing Pradhuman.
The cold-blooded murder case of Pradyuman took a new dimension after the CBI trashed the probe by the Gurugram police and gave a clean chit to bus conductor Ashok Kumar, who was arrested with the charges of murder and sexual assault in connection with the case, and arrested the juvenile.
Pradhuman, aged seven, was found on September 8 morning in the washroom of the Ryan International school in Bhondsi area on Sohna Road with his throat slit.
