RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL INCIDENT

RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL INCIDENT
The heart rending incident that took place in Ryan International school Gurugram, is talk of the town now a days. Although what exactly happened inside the washroom, why and how Pradyuman Thakur a seven year old boy was murdered  is still in veils. What media tries to say and how school authorities try to hush the incident is confusing. Soon after the incident Mr. Ashok Kumar main accused confesses the crime,  and on the next day Kishor's family repudiated the earlier confession and says that the accused was forced to confess. Police examined the CCTV footage and found many clues. CCTV footage reveals that Bus conductor Ashok Kumar arrives at 7:40am in morning and soon after arriving school he goes to the bathroom which is common for staff members as well as students.After Kishor's arrival Pradyuman enters the main gate accompanied by his sister. Pradyuman goes to bathroom at about 7:55am, where kishor was already present.  At 8: 05 am Ashok Kumar comes out of the washroom. It is worth mentioning here that Ashok Kumar has not been found rushing or running out of the bathroom in frustrated condition which indicates that Ashok Kumar probably was not nervous. Seconds after kishor comes out ,injured Pradyuman is seen crawling out of the bathroom holding his bleeding throat. The school gardener  spots the Pradyuman, rushes to the spot and calls for help. Teachers rush to the spot, meanwhile Ashok Kumar comes to the spot the second time. Now kishor takes pradyuman's body to a car, in which  Pradyuman is taken to hospital.
            There are many questions those are still unanswered , or falsely answered. Not only the media but common people pose questions on this issue. For instance, one of the main questions is that why Mr. Kishor's shirt was not blood stained when he came out of the bathroom? If he killed the child, he should have been seen with  blood stains on his clothes. Another question is that How could he manage to escape from the spot and come again as he had done nothing, if he is the killer. Had he escaped from the window and reached the spot again to mislead the authorities as stated by some TV anchors ? If it is so, why wasn't he nervous or frustrated at the time he came to the spot again. Even a professional killer can not hide his choas and frustration soon after murder. But in the said case nothing like that was noticed as per the electronic media. Another story that media reveals is that Ashok Kumar probably had changed the shirt and came again to the spot wearing new shirt so as to mislead the people. The question is, " why should kishor have a reserve shirt with him in advance?"
A knife recovered from the spot was kishor's personal knife as per his confession video. Now why should kishor or anybody else take the knife to the washroom? Had he already planned the murder? Was he a professional murderer? No, as per the accused and as per police reports, it was a sudden and unprepared murder.
Media assumption and confession of the accused reveals  that kishor killed Pradyuman and fled through the window, changed his clothes, and came again to the spot that also without any nervousness. It seems that Ashok Kumar is a contract killer or a professional murderer, because only a contract killer or a professional murderer can have such courage and time planning. What does the media want to say? They say Ashok Kumar killed Pradyuman because of sudden and unexpected encounter. On the other hand they present Ashok Kumar as a Professional murderer.
Is Ashok kumar the murderer or innocent, its still to be cleared. Case has been taken over to CBI, hopefully new clues are expected and truth will be unveiled. But  CBSE also issued a "Show cause notice" in which short comings were found out. The school has been found guilty in neglecting some basic principles.
Toilet window is not grilled due to which anybody can enter through the window. So its possible that anybody other than Ashok may have entered the bathroom through window and killed Pradyuman. It again reduces the credibility of CCTV footage.
Another negligence that school has been found guilty in, is that there is no assistant  deputed to stay outside the washrooms who could help the kids to tackle the different situations that they may face while going to or coming out of bathroom.
Separate bathrooms have not been built for transport staff which could help in reducing the interaction between children and transport staff.
School premises are not properly sealed to heck the entry of any outdoor so anybody anytime can enter the school premises.
Close to the school premises there is a vine shop which is a clear violation of laws. Who has given the license to that vine shop is still a question.
Its the need of the hour that schools and colleges should follow all security measures. In fact these institutions should necessarily be digitalised Authorities also have to inspect the schools on regular basis so as to find the loopholes and to reduce the risk of accidents. Moreover teaching and non teaching staff of every institution should be vigilant enough to reduce the chances of accidents and crimes.
