Student arrested for murder of child in India

    A student in India has been arrested over the murder of a fellow pupil.

    The secondary school student was taken into custody in connection with the death of a seven-year-old boy at a school in Gurgaon in September.

    Initially a bus conductor, suspected of slitting the boys throat after attempting to sexually assault him, was arrested. He remains in prison.

    However, the victim’s father sought a federal inquiry into the case, which was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, who arrested the senior student on Tuesday evening, 8 November.
