In a shocking confession, the school bus conductor who murdered the 7-year-old student inside the washroom of the Gurgaon-based Ryan International School, said that he murdered him because he objected to having sex with him.

Ashok Kumar, 42, is a resident of Ghamroj village in Gurgaon and has been working with Ryan International School for the past eight months.

Kumar confessed that he found the 7-year-old alone in the washroom, that encouraged him to attempt sexual assault. However, when the boy tired to escape, Kumar pulled him in the washroom and slit his throat.

He stabbed the child twice and washed the knife in the washroom and threw the same at the site of crime.

After the child's body was discovered, it was Kumar who helped the school authorities take him to Artemis Hospital.
