New Delhi : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Class XI student for the murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur, who was found dead in Gurugram’s Ryan International School in August, media reports have said .

The arrested accused is a student from the same school as Pradyuman. According to reports , he was detained from his residence in Sohna near Gurugram. According to reports the Class XI student was the first to spot and identify Pradyuman’s body in August. However, his family has said the boy is innocent and has been “wrongly framed”. “The CBI has arrested my child illegally. They claim he killed Pradyuman. However, this is not true,” the father of the accused said.

CBI will be filing the chargesheet on 18 November. CBI is also questioning the family members of the Class XI boy in the case. “We want the boy to be tried as an adult…We will demand nothing less than the death penalty,” Sushil Tekriwal, Pradyuman’s parents’ lawyer, told .

Sources have also told that the boy has confessed to the crime and the CBI decided to arrest the boy on Tuesday evening. The clearance for the arrest reportedly came from top officials in the CBI. The sources also told the news channel that the parents of the arrested boy have been asked to join the investigation.

CBI soures also told  that the low resolution of the CCTV footage of the incident was a problem earlier. The family of the bus conductor, who had earlier been accused of murdering Pradyuman, has also said that even though they are relieved, they will not be happy until the truth comes out. The family also demanded a fair trial in this case. Ashok, the bus conductor, had earlier alleged that he tortured and forced to confess to the crime.

Pradyuman’s father Barun Chandra Thakur was quotedas accusing the Gurugram police of neglecting the “actual facts” in the case. “There is more than one angle to the case. It’s not just the role of the conductor but there are many others who also need to be probed,” Thakur had said.

Pradyuman, a Class II student of Ryan International School, was found dead in the school toilet with his throat slit on 8 August.

The Haryana government had earlier recommended a CBI probe in the matter following a massive outrage. The agency took over the probe on 22 September.

The Gurugram Police had earlier arrested Ryan International School’s bus conductor and had interrogated several school staff including a gardener and drivers.

Ryan Pinto, CEO of the Ryan International Group, was also quizzed in the case.
