The juvenile accused of murdering Class 2 student Pradhyumn Thakur at Gurgaon’s Ryan International School has retracted the confession he was said to have made before investigators, sources told HT on Monday. The boy is said to have alleged the investigators beat him up and recorded the confession in their own words. When the visiting team reached the observation home in Faridabad, they got to know the accused’s family members were present there, sources said. The accused narrated a different sequence of events to the visiting team to the one he purportedly told investigators in his confession. He rushed out and informed Harpal, the gardener, and then a teacher about the injured boy, the accused told the visiting team, sources said.
