The Central Bureau of Investigation today detained a Class XI student of Gurgaoan, Haryana's Ryan International School in connection with the grusome murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur.

The arrest, the details of which area currently sketchy, comes as a major twist in the Pradyuman Thakur murder case, a case that grabbed national headlines.

Up until right now, a school bus conductor at Gurgaon's Ryan International School was believed to be the prime suspect in the murder of the seven-year-old. Days after the killing, Gurgaon Police had arrested the conductor for the child's murder.

However, the conductor's family members had claimed he was being framed while Pradyuman's parents themselves had expressed suspicion that the Ryan International School was hiding information in the Pradyuman murder case.

It was after sustained pressure from the parents that the ML Khattar government in Haryana transferred the murder case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
