The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) begins questioning of the juvenile apprehended for allegedly killing his school junior Pradyuman Thakur. The CBI has also planned to take a suspect student to Ryan International School in Gurugram where he killed a seven-year-old boy. The suspect is being grilled about the weapon used in a crime and why Pradyuman.
The suspect student was apprehended on Tuesday late night and produced before Juvenile Justice Board on Wednesday. The Board allowed the police to question the suspect who is Class XI student.
The student killed Pradyuman randomly with a motive to postpone examination and parents and teachers meeting scheduled later in the month.
The CBI is also probing the weapon used in the crime. A forensic team that had visited the spot where Pradyuman had found a knife from a commode in the toilet. This was after the police had claimed that they had already recovered a blood-soaked knife from Ashok Kumar, the bus conductor who was arrested for the murder.
This two-weapon theory had blown the lid off the Gurugram police's botched-up probe, which the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has now rejected. The agency has claimed that the knife found in the commode was the one actually used for the crime.
The police had claimed that the knife they recovered was a part of the bus toolkit. The bus driver, however, maintained that there was no knife in the box.
According to the CBI, a Class XI student of the same school killed Pradyuman, while rejecting the police theory that the conductor sexually assaulted the child before slitting his throat.
Sources said the school teachers had noticed the suspect bringing a knife to school four days before the murder, but the Gurugram Police did not give any importance to this crucial bit of information.
"We would not comment on the role of the Haryana Police. We followed our line of investigation. Now, the court will decide," a CBI spokesperson said.
The crucial CCTV footage, in which the Class XI student was seen near the toilet minutes before the murder, was also ignored by the cops. "The CCTV footage shows the suspected student pushing Pradyuman towards the washroom," a CBI source said.
The agency also found out that the student was the first to inform the gardener about the incident. "After scientific analysis of the crime scene and CCTV footage, and questioning of several people, we zeroed down to the Class XI student as our prime suspect," a senior CBI officer said.
Pradyuman's father Varun Thakur said the family always suspected that the case was being mishandled and the bus conductor was arrested in a hurry. "We had been telling the police to question other people but they were focused on the bus conductor, who was seen coming out of the washroom before Pradyuman came out with his throat slit," he said.
