The boy was found with his throat slit and lying in a pool of blood in the washroom of the upmarket Gurgaon school on Friday. Ashok Kumar, one of the school's bus conductors, who allegedly killed the boy while trying to sexually abuse him, was arrested the same day.

Also, he said that one could easily enter into or get out of the school premises after climbing over the boundary walls "The windows and grills of the students' toilet, in which the Class 2 student Praduman was killed, was found broken," he added. The Education minister also said that the top management and proprietors of school would also come under the ambit of FIR as their negligence appeared clearly in the brutal murder of seven-year-old Praduman Thakur.

The SIT, which told a Sohna court that evidence were tampered with in the case, suspects involvement of a third person, while the child's father flagged concerns over the timings of the events on the fateful morning of September 8.

Assuring the parents, protesting against the brutal killing and demanding strict action against the school management, the minister said that the guilty would be brought to justice and "if parents of the child insist on a CBI probe, the government will accept it."

Meanwhile, Northern Zone Head Francis Thomas and Bhodnsi branch coordinator have been sent on two-day police remand in connection with the Ryan International School murder case. Amid raging protests over the gruesome killing of a seven-year-old student at the Ryan International School, the state government also issued an order, stating that all campuses of the aforementioned school will be closed till Tuesday.
