In September last year, a similar incident happened in Gurugram’s Ryan International School where a 7-year-old boy was found dead inside the school’s washroom. Police first suspected the involvement of the school’s bus conductor, however, it was later found that the murder was committed by a 16-year-old student of the same school as he wanted to postpone the day of the examination as well as the parent-teacher meeting. The case triggered an outrage across the country over the lack of adequate security in schools and raised serious questions on Gurugram police’s lax investigation.
