The files of Gurugram school murder case gets open yet again when Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday rejected the bail plea of the accused who murdered a seven-year-old School student in Gurugram.
On May 21, a Child Sessions Court in Gurugram had ruled that the juvenile accused in the Pradyuman murder case should be tried as an adult. The lawyer, representing the deceased student’s family, Sushil Tekriwal was quoted in reports saying, “The Child Sessions Court upheld judgement by the Juvenile Justice Board that the juvenile is tried as an adult. He can be subjected to stringent and strict punishment if he’s going to get convicted. We welcome it.”
The accused, a Class XI student, was arrested by the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) last year on the charges of killing a Class II student of Gurugram’s prominent school.
Seven-year-old was found in a pool of blood with his throat slit inside the school premises on September 8, 2017. The Juvenile Justice Board had earlier on December 20 ruled that the 16-year-old accused will be tried as an adult.
