AAP MLA Devendra Sehrawat today wrote to Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung alleging that the probe into the death of a six-year-old student at Ryan International School is being "influenced" by the management.
The media and parents of the child are also "feeling the pressure", Sehrawat, legislator of the Vijwasan constituency, said in the letter. He had earlier sought the cancellation of the school's license.
In the letter, that was apparently written before the arrest of the Principal of the school, Sehrawat stressed that the cases, including the one involving the death of a child in an SDMC school, will have to be taken out of the local police stations to ensure "fair probe".
"Divyansh's death has happened in suspicious circumstances. His father wants the case to be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). I request you to agree to the demand in public interest.
"Ryan School is a big organisation and its influence is pretty apparent in the investigation. Media and the parents of the child are also feeling the pressure," the letter said.
The principal and four other staff of the school, located in south Delhi, were arrested today, five days after the class one student was found dead in a water tank on the campus, triggering outrage.
Besides principal Sandhya Sabu (50), those arrested include class teacher Minakshi Kapoor (38) and drinking water system operator Yogesh Kholiya (23). Maintenance in-charge of the tank Puran Singh Bisht (65) and gardener Ram Narayan (44) were also arrested.
