CBI: Take 11th class student to crime spot, knife shop, recreate what happened
CBI on Wednesday told the Juvenile Justice Board in Gurgaon that the custody of the Class XI student is required to reconstruct the scene of the crime and to ascertain the “sequence of events which led to the murder”.
The 16 year old has been apprehended for the murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur of Ryan International School on September 8 in the school washroom.
CBI will take the 16-year-old boy to the bathroom, where Pradyuman was found murdered. The CBI, which was granted three-day remand to question the boy by Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Devender, submitted that this was required to “ascertain the details and identify the shop from where the murder weapon was procured by him”.
“The custodial interrogation of the said juvenile in conflict of law (JCL) is required by the CBI… to ascertain the details of other persons, if any, involved in the crime… (and) to collect any other evidence related to the case,” the CBI submitted.
The CBI prosecutor said, “The agency has sufficient evidence to get the remand of the accused. We have not moved a plea to try the accused as an adult under the JJB Act. The video footage and investigation so far were enough to seek the remand.”
