The 16-year-old student of Gurgaon's Ryan International School, who had been accused of the murder of Pradyuman Thakur, will be taken as an adult and undergo a regular trial in a court, the Juvenile Justice Board has said. He will be produced in court on Friday, the board said. If convicted, he will stay in a correctional home till he is 21 years old and then be sent to the jail. 

Pradyuman, 7-year-old student of the same school, was found with his gullet slit outside the school's washroom on September 8.A month later, the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI), which was handling the case, arrested the Class 11 student, saying the earlier detained of a bus conductor, made by the local police, was a frame-up.

The organization said the teen has accepted that of killing Pradyuman, the reason was to make sure that a similar to examination and a parent-teacher meeting got delayed.While there was no clinching evidence, the agency said the CCTV footage restored from the outside of the school washroom showed that the teen was the last one coming out of the washroom.

In way of the investigation, the investigators had taken him to the school to reconstruct the events and to various shops to find out where he bought the knife that was used to kill the child.The boy's father has alleged that the confession was extracted by torture. His son, he said, had been "hung upside down and brutally thrashed".

Pradyuman's parents, who had appealed that the teen accused be tried as an adult under the amended Juvenile Justice law, said they were grateful to the judiciary for the decision."We always knew that the journey is long, but we will go till the end to get justice for my child and all other children who might be vulnerable," Pradyuman's father Varun Thakur said.
