Police in New Delhi arrested a teenager on Wednesday accused of cutting the throat of a seven-year-old schoolmate in the hope that the drama would force him to postpone the exams.
The homicide of which the 16-year-old boy is suspected was recorded last September at a private school near New Delhi.
After the murder, the police initially arrested a bus driver claiming that he had killed the child trying to sexually abuse him, however the investigations took a turn and now point to having elements against a "low school adolescent" whose motive was to postpone an examination and an impending parent-teacher meeting. "
"During the interrogation he wanted to have the school closed to postpone the exams and the meeting," said R K Gaur, a spokesman for the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The teenager, who can not be identified for legal reasons, was sent to a juvenile detention center awaiting trial. The bus driver remains detained until he is free from suspicion, Gaur added.
