New Delhi, Nov 12: Days after CBI  apprehended Class 11 student of Ryan International School for allegedly killing seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur, the Haryana police on Saturday admitted that omissions took place on their part during the investigation into the murder case.

If reports are to be believed, the policemen confessed that they didn’t watch the closed circuit television (CCTV) footage carefully.. The team members, however, remained silent on exactly how they made this grave error.

Slamming the cops, Khirwar sought an explanation for ‘botched-up’ investigations. He also demanded a complete inquiry report on the matter and the exact details of the police officers who analysed the CCTV footage. He further sought to know what circumstantial evidence led the team to declare conductor Ashok as the murderer.

The CBI had said that there was no evidence against Kumar so far. According to the agency, the Class 11 student, believed to be weak in his studies, allegedly slit Pradyuman Thakur’s throat to get the school to declare a holiday in order to defer a scheduled parent-teacher meeting and an examination.
