Pradyuman killing: Conductor Ashok Singh gets bail

The bus conductor, who was initially the prime accused in the sensational twist to the murder of an eight-year-old student of Ryan International School in Gurgaon, today was released on bail by a Gurgaon court.

Ashok Singh was initially arrested by the local police but later CBI said a fellow student might have murdered Pradyuman. The Central Bureau of Investigation has detained a class XI student of the school for allegedly carrying out the killing to delay exams and a parent-teacher meeting.

Meanwhile, Pradyuman's father Barun Thakur told reporters, "We respect the court's decision and hope we will get justice."


Thakur said that the court may have considered the circumstential evidence while granting the bail.

As per reports, CBI was against the bail of Ashok but in absence of any evidence, the court has accepted the bail application of the accused.

According to ANI, the court exonerated Ashok saying it's a matter of life and death so allow the bail with a bond of Rs 50,000.
