After the protest turned violent over the killing of a seven-year-old student in Gurugram's Ryan International School, police on Sunday night arrested staff members of the school.

Ryan International Group's northern zone head Francis Thomas and branch (Bhondsi) coordinator were arrested last night.

The father of the victim, Varun Thakur has also moved the Supreme Court and demanded a parallel CBI enquiry as the school has severe administrative loopholes.

Meanwhile, the Haryana Police has sent a team to Mumbai to question the owner of the Ryan International Group at the head office. 

The management of the school has decided to keep all campuses of the school in the city closed till Tuesday.

Hundreds of parents on Sunday staged a protest outside the school for a CBI probe, a demand which the Haryana government was inclined to accept as a government committee reported 'security loopholes' in the school.
