Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today met the aggrieved family of six-year-old Divyansh Kakrora who was found dead at a water reservoir in Ryan International school even as his parents alleged their child's death was a "murder" and the arrests made were mere formality.
Sisodia, also the Education Minister accompanied by District Magistrate and SDM went to the meet the family at their residence in Sultanpur area, and assured them of full support in their pursuit for justice.
The Education Minister had earlier in the day said that the school management should also be held responsible for the child's death.
"Why there is no action against management? School mgmt is not there to earn huge money without any accountability," he tweeted.
Meanwhile, the family of the deceased child today took out a candlelight vigil in Vasant Kunj area today.
"My son's death is not a case of negligence but murder. The arrests made today were merely a formality. Therefore, we are demanding a CBI probe. If they were to be bailed out than why were they arrested? ," said Divyansh's father Ramheet Meenaa, a paramedical staffer at AIIMS.
"Did the police ask them why did they inform us four hours after the death. They obviously wanted to destroy the evidences. The principal and others are involved and they are not speaking out. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called me and said that he is coming to meet us," he added.
His mother, said, "This should not happen to any other child. Those involved should get stringent punishment. If there is no safety in such a reputed school what will happen in other schools. Why the school had given my child a gold medal if he was a hyper kid?"
The principal and four other staff members of the South Delhi school were arrested today, five days after the student was found dead in a water tank on the campus, triggering outrage. Those arrested were released on bail later.
