Chandigarh: Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said the allegations levelled against the Haryana Police in connection with the Gurugram school murder case were being investigated.

Kumar, who was arrested by the Gurugram Police in connection with the murder of the Class 2 student, was released from the Bhondsi jail after a Gurugram court granted him bail. He has not got a clean chit from the CBI. In a twist in the case, the CBI recently announced that it had apprehended a senior student of the school in connection with the incident, rejecting the police theory that the killing was the handiwork of Kumar. The CBI had arrested the 16-year-old student of Gurugram’s Ryan International School on charges of killing the Class 2 student to get the school to defer a parent-teacher meeting and an exam. The seven-year-old as was found with his throat slit in the toilet of the school in Bhondsi, Gurugram, on 8 September.
