Ryan student death: School's CEO moves Bombay HC for anticipatory bail

Ryan International School's CEO Ryan Pinto and his parents, who are its founders, on Monday approached the Bombay High Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with the murder of a seven-year-old boy in the institution's premises in Gurugram.

The bail pleas were filed following the arrest of two top officials of the Ryan International School.

"The school's founding chairman, Augustine Pinto, and his wife Grace Pinto, who is the managing director of the institution, have along with their son Ryan Pinto sought anticipatory bail in the Bombay High Court," their counsel Niteen Pradhan told PTI.

Pradhan mentioned the applications this morning before Justice Ajey Gadkari, who posted them for hearing on Tuesday.

Two top officials of the Ryan International School were arrested while the acting principal detained for questioning in connection with the gruesome murder of the boy in the school premises in Gurugram, police said on Monday.

Pradhuman Thakur, a class 2 student, was found with his throat slit in a school washroom on Friday last.

The murder, in connection with which a bus conductor has been arrested, has triggered a huge public outrage.
