Political support to big private schools helped them evade CBI probe: Manish Sisodia

11 Sep. 21:35

Days after the murder of a seven-year-old boy in Ryan International School in Gurugram, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday said that political support to the big private schools helped them in evading CBI probe in such cases.

Recalling the death of six-year-old Devansh Kacrora at Delhi's Ryan International School on January 30, 2016, he said that he had then asked for a CBI probe in the case but to no avail.

"I had then asked for a CBI probe in the matter but I do not know why it was not conducted," said Sisodia, who holds charge of Education, adding that maybe it was because of "political support" to the school.

"Had the CBI probe in the matter been launched 1.5 years back, we would have probably stopped the recent death in Gurugram school," he claimed.

Sisodia added that because of political support, big private schools were able to hide many such incidents which occurred in their premises.

"Until big private schools are freed of the political patronage, they will continue to act according to their whims and fancies"" the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader told reporters.

Seven-year-old Pradhuman Thakur was found murdered on September 8 at Ryan International School in Bhondsi area on the Sohna Road in Haryana's Gurugram district.

On the same day police have arrested Ashok Kumar, a conductor of a school bus, for the murder.

Two senior officials of the Ryan International School here have also been arrested in connection with the murder of a seven-year-old boy in the school premises last week that sparked massive public outrage.

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6) it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

How safe are our kids in schools?

TOI How safe are our kids in schools? 7 hours ago by Praveen Lenka Whatsapp Facebook Google Plus Twitter Email Linkedin SMS SHARE HIGHLIGHTS Parents’ Suggestions Feedback from parents should be taken in the right stride by school authorities. PTA should have more authority and a right to put their points across in all school matters, especially when it comes to the safety of their children. No child, especially small kids, should be allowed to go alone to the washroom. There should be zero tolerance for non-compliance with child safety guidelines. Official authorities should conduct regular checks in schools to ensure that they have implemented safety measures. Schools should take the help of professional counsellors/psychologists to interview potential recruits. Over the past two days, twin incidents of students getting assaulted in their school premises have been reported from the National Capital. Close on...

THE LOST WORLD ( CHAPTER 12)

CHAPTER XII "It was Dreadful in the Forest" I have said—or perhaps I have not said, for my memory plays me sad tricks these days—that I glowed with pride when three such men as my comrades thanked me for having saved, or at least greatly helped, the situation. As the youngster of the party, not merely in years, but in experience, character, knowledge, and all that goes to make a man, I had been overshadowed from the first. And now I was coming into my own. I warmed at the thought. Alas! for the pride which goes before a fall! That little glow of self-satisfaction, that added measure of self-confidence, were to lead me on that very night to the most dreadful experience of my life, ending with a shock which turns my heart sick when I think of it. It came about in this way. I had been unduly excited by the adventure of the tree, and sleep seemed to be impossible. Summerlee was on guard, sitting hunched over our small fire, a quaint, angular figure, his rifle across his knee...
