Pradyuman, a student of Class 2, was found murdered with his throat slit on the morning of September 8 inside one of the school toilets.

Meanwhile, Union minister Maneka Gandhi, HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, along with other officials from the CBSE, will hold high-level meeting on the safety and security of children in schools.

Since the murder of the boy reports have found that there were serious lapses in the security of the students. A two-member fact finding committee formed by the CBSE found that the bus drivers and conductors were using the same toilet facilities which otherwise should have been reserved for the students.

Last week, the Haryana governement has taken over the management of the Ryan School for three months and ordered CBI probe into the murder.
