As per sources, the probe agency has not recorded a statement of the minor in front of the Magistrate as of now. The CBI also questioned the ex-employees of the school apart from teachers and students. The murder case of the seven-year-old took a new dimension on Wednesday after the CBI trashed the probe by the Gurugram Police and gave a clean chit to the bus conductor, arrested on the charges of murder and sexual assault.
The CBI instead arrested a class 11 student of the Ryan International School. The CBI then produced the accused juvenile before the Juvenile Justice Board and demanded his six-day custody. The accused also confessed his crime in front of his father, the CBI told a juvenile court.
The juvenile court, however, granted only three-day custody with a rider that the accused can only be questioned from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. only. The probe agency also told the juvenile court that the juvenile's father was informed about his son's arrest. The accused was also medically examined on November 8 at 0330 hours at the Safdarjung Hospital.
The CBI has said the accused committed the crime in order to postpone the parents-teachers meeting and the exams. Meanwhile, the victim's family has demanded that the juvenile student be tried as an adult and accordingly, be given a harsh punishment.
