Hearing the bail petition of the accused bus conductor Ashok Kumar in the Ryan International School murder case, the local court here on Monday reserved its order for a day. The order will be pronounced on Tuesday afternoon.
The Central Bureau of Investigation placed the DNA report of the blood stains on the clothes of Ashok Kumar along with electronic evidence, confessional statements, retractions, and statements by witnesses to Additional District and Sessions Judge Rajni Yadav.
Mr. Ashok Kumar’s counsel Mohit Verma claimed witnesses had given different statements to the police and the CBI. “While gardener Harpal told the police that he had seen blood stains on the clothes of Ashok Kumar, he told the CBI that he was forced by the police to say so. Harpal told the CBI that he had not seen blood stains on the clothes of Ashok. Similarly, the teachers and the school principal also maintained before the CBI that they had not spotted blood stains on the clothes of Ashok,” said Mr. Verma.
Sources present inside the courtroom during the hearing claimed that the judge remarked there was the need for an expert prosecutor to represent the CBI in the case.
Confirming this, Advocate Sushil Tekriwal, who represents the complainant in the case, hoped that the agency would come well prepared next time.
