New Delhi, September 9
The CBSE on Saturday formed a two-member fact-finding committee to probe the killing of a seven-year-old student in Gurugram’s Ryan International School and sought a report from its management within two days.
The move by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) comes following outrage among parents after the student was found with his throat slit in the school washroom on Friday.
“A two-member fact-finding committee has been set up to inquire into the tragic murder of the student on the school premises. The school has also been asked to submit a report within two days along with the copy of the FIR,” a senior board official said.
Earlier on Saturday, the acting principal of Ryan International School here was suspended and all the security staff was removed.

Angry parents and locals gathered outside the school premises in the morning and protested for over two hours demanding a CBI probe into the gruesome murder while expressing dissatisfaction over the investigation being carried out by the Gurugram Police.
They also demanded that the school management be booked for the killing of the boy.
The police said the Class II student was allegedly killed by a bus conductor, Ashok Kumar, who also tried to sexually abuse him. The accused was arrested hours after the gruesome murder. PTI
