Ryan School: Lawyer of Bus-conductor to sue police

A day after Class 11 student of Ryan International School was arrested by central Bureau of Investigation for allegedly murdering Pradyuman thakur, Mohit Verma, Rohtak-based counsel for Ashok Kumar(the bus conductor who was arrested), said his client was made a scapegoat in the case to protect the real culprit.

The bus conductor was arrested by police on charges of murder and sexual assault of eight-year-old Pradyumn Thakur at Gurgaon’s Ryan International School, but no proof of any sexual assualt was found and the CBI also said that no evidence against Kumar was found.

“We are waiting for the CBI to file its closure report after which we will file cases against the police and school management for large-scale defamation of Ashok,” Verma said.

The Rohtak-based lawyer said Kumar was drugged and tortured by the police to confess to a crime he never committed in front of the media.

“The police clearly botched up the probe. The CBI did not find any motive he could have had in murdering Pradyumn, while they established the motive of the arrested Class 11 boy behind the crime,” he said.
