A seven-year-old Class II student of Ryan International, Bhondsi, was today found in a pool of blood inside a school toilet.
He was immediately rushed to a hospital, where he was declared “brought dead”.
According to the information,
the boy was sexually assaulted by the bus conductor. The school authorities then informed the police, which arrested school bus conductor Ashok Kumar.
“Having dropped my son and daughter to school, I
had just returned home when I got a call. I was told my son was
bleeding from the mouth and had been hospitalized. On reaching the
hospital, I was told he was dead. His throat slit, he had bled to death.
My son was murdered in cold blood,” said the aggrieved father.
“The left ear and the throat bear marks of
injuries of a serious nature. We are studying the CCTV footage,” said an
investigating official.
“I was taking a class when three teachers came
rushing to inform me that a child had collapsed. Wasting no time, we
took him to hospital but he could not be saved. We are in shock too", said the
officiating principal.
Why did they mislead me on the phone, claiming
my son was bleeding from the mouth?” asked the father. “It was his
friend’s birthday today and he was in a hurry to reach school, saying he
would get lots of toffees. Those responsible for my son’s death must
not go unpunished,” said the wailing mother.
