The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reconstructed the crime scene in the Pradyuman murder case.The investigative team of seven members brought the alleged murderer, 42-year-old bus conductor Ashok Kumar, and a gardener, Harpal, to Ryan International School, where the murder took place.
The central agency took over the investigation of Pradyuman’s murder on Friday, after the ML Khattar-led Haryana government asked it to. Deputy Superintendent of Police, Ajay Kumar Bassi (CBI) leads the team.
CBI sources said in the investigation Ashok recreated the entire crime scene inside the bathroom.
In the second visit of CBI in two days at Ryan they gather more evidence in the case.
The CBI officers asked Ashok in detail how he was standing, and where Pradyuman was when he was murdered.
On Saturday, 12 CBI officers spent the entire day at Ryan International. CBI sources said the team, comprised of forensic experts, collected additional evidence from the crime scene that would be crucial during further investigation.
The central agency has registered a case of murder under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC, 25 of the Arms Act, 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act read with section 34 of IPC.
Haryana Police have alleged that Ashok Kumar killed Pradyuman with a knife after the child resisted an attempt to sexually assault him. However, the post-mortem report ruled out any sexual assault attempt by the accused.
CBI will re-examine all CCTV footage recovered from Ryan International School, to uncover more clues. One camera recorded Pradyuman and Ashok on the day of the murder.
