Ryan school student death: 9 days later, Delhi Police to answer 24 questions

 

The Delhi Police is preparing a detailed reply of the 24 questions raised by Divyansh's father regarding the death of his child even as the Delhi government has decided to recommend a CBI probe. On Saturday, his father, RK Meena prepared a list of 24 questions, which highlights loopholes in the police investigation.
According to senior police officials, the reply will be submitted by Monday. "We will be answering all the questions raised by the boy's father. The reply will be submitted by Monday," a senior police official said.
Meena also alleged that the private parts of his child were hurt as revealed from his corpse. "How can my, or any, child lift such a heavy lid. And if he fall down accidentally, then why his shoes were found outside the tank? I have 24 such questions, but the police is not interested. I demand a CBI probe in the matter," he said. The family has approached HRD Minister Smriti Irani and demanded CBI enquiry. A copy of the letter was also sent to Prime Minister's Office.
In the letter to Irani, the parents alleged there was a conspiracy behind the incident and demanded action against the school management.
"Divyansh's death was too suspicious and the reasons have still not been cleared by school authorities. I am sure about some conspiracy against my child. Being a father, I just request you to please try to hand over this case to CBI so that proper investigations can be made in this case, otherwise I know this case would suppressed by the school administration," his father said in the letter.
Meanwhile, Delhi Government on Sunday said it will recommend a CBI inquiry into the death of a Ryan International School student in view of shortcomings in the ongoing probe even as the distraught parents of the 6-year-old sought HRD minister Smriti Irani's intervention.
"We have decided to recommend a CBI probe into death of Divyansh. We can see shortcomings in the ongoing probe. Divyansh's parents have levelled serious allegation," Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, said.
Congress spokesperson Shobha Oza said "CBI inquiry should be ordered into the case heeding to the demands of the parents." Delhi BJP Chief Satish Upadhyay said "The police should probe all possible angles."
Meena also met Delhi Women and Child Welfare minister Sandeep Kumar and expressed concern that police was not properly investigating the death of his son, whose body was found in the reservoir under the amphitheatre of the school located in south Delhi on January 30.
"So far the police has only been talking to the school staff and they have not recorded our statements," he said.
