Pradyuman Murder Case: Conductor Ashok Kumar ‘in Pain’, Wife Says ‘He Was Tortured by Police to Confess’ - JPKee.com

New Delhi, Nov 23: Ashok Kumar, the bus conductor, who was arrested on allegations of murdering 7-year-old Pradyuman Thakur at Ryan International School, Gurugram, was released on bail on Wednesday. While Ashok thanked the media after he returned home, he said he was in a lot of pain. His wife claimed that he was tortured by the police while he was in custody.

“Police beat him up, hung him upside down, tortured him and even sedated him to make him confess that he killed Pradyuman,” said Ashok’s wife while speaking to news agency ANI.

Ashok was released on bail from Gurugram’s Bhondsi jail on Wednesday evening. This came after the Gurugram District Court on Tuesday granted bail to him with a Rs 50,000 security bond. Ashok got bail days after the Central Bureau of Investigation apprehended a Class XI student of the same school alleging he murdered Pradyuman.

Ashok was arrested on September 8, after the body of Pradyuman Thakur, a class two student of Ryan International School in Gurugram, was found lying inside the washroom in the premises. According to the police, Ashok was accused of slitting the throat of the student. He also reportedly made a confession, which he later said was made under the pressure of the police.

The case was later transferred to the CBI, which eventually found that a senior student of the school committed the crime in a bid to ‘postpone the examination and parent-teachers meet’. Following this revelation, the CBI also alleged that the police tampered with evidence to frame the conductor.
