“My son did not even know the bus conductor as he never travelled in the school bus. We used to drop him and pick him,” said Jyoti Thakur.

Jyoti said if the school cannot even provide basic safety for students, how parents would send their children to school? 

Meanwhile, Barun Chandra Thakur, father of the victim, has demanded action against the management of  Ryan International School. 

He said: "We have not received any reply from the administration as of now. I have not received any information. However, it is known that an accused has been caught. School administration has so far not replied as to why this incident happened in their school. We leave our children in school having a trust on the school management. They are not reacting in a responsible manner. School administration has not talked to us personally regarding this incident. We have only met the teachers who told us that they found my son's body in pool of blood outside the toilet." 

He alleged that that the injury marks on the body of his deceased son shows that it is a clear case of murder.

Meanwhile, people gathered outside the Ryan International School on Saturday to protest against the incident.

A seven-year-old Class II student of Ryan International, Bhondsi, was on Friday found in a pool of blood inside a school toilet, his throat slit. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was declared “brought dead”. The school authorities then informed the police, which arrested school bus conductor Ashok Kumar. 

Sources claimed the boy had been sexually assaulted.

Shocked, the parents’ association questioned the school on the conductor’s access to toilets meant for students. Some of them ransacked school property and additional police had to be called.
