TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ In a major breakthrough in the alleged murder case of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur, the bus driver, who was with the accused conductor Ashok Kumar before the incident took place, has revealed shocking details about the police and the school management on Monday.
Bus driver Saurabh disclosed that the police and the Ryan school management forced him to adapt their version of events, which claimed that conductor Ashok brought the knife inside the school premises as it was part of the tool kit.
However, contrary to his earlier statements, the bus driver yesterday said that the knife which was allegedly used to kill seven-year-old Pradyuman was not part of the tool kit. It was police who threatened and asked him to admit it was. “I keep opening the tool box and had inspected it on that day as well. The knife was not there,” the driver stated.
Talking about accused conductor Ashok, the driver said that it is quite hard to believe that he hid the knife from the tool kit. “He is of a very quiet nature. I’ve never seen him bring a knife. Once he got a screwdriver and informed me that I have got this as it’ll be useful in the bus. Maybe he did not tell me about the knife and perhaps he kept it somewhere else… I don’t really know,” Saurabh told.
