Javadekar takes cognizance of SC notice in Ryan murder case

Union Minister for Human Resource Development (HRD) Prakash Javadekar on Monday said that he will take due cognizance of Supreme Court's notice in connection with the murder case of a seven-year-old at the Ryan International School in Gurugram and chalk out a better solution.

Javadekar said that his ministry will file an adequate answer in the regard.

"Will definitely give reply to Supreme Court. We will arrive at a better solution by talking to everybody," Javadekar said.

The apex court, earlier in the day, while taking cognizance of a petition in connection with the murder of seven-year-old Pradhyuman Thakur, issued a notice to the Centre, Haryana Government, Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) and concerned parties, seeking a report within three weeks.

Highlighting that schools have gone scott-free despite security lapses, victim's lawyer S.K. Tikriwal urged that a tribunal be formed under the supervision of the top court in order to place accountability and ensure timely action in such cases.

Further, the lawyer also pressed for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation in the matter.
