Ashok was arrested by the Gurugram police on September 8 soon after the murder the same day.
A court in Gurugram on Tuesday granted bail to Ashok Kumar, who was arrested in connection with the murder of a seven-year-old student of the Ryan International School on its Bhondsi campus. He was working as a bus conductor in the school.
Reading out the order, Additional District and Sessions Judge Rajni Yadav said that since the bus conductor was exonerated by the CBI and a juvenile was apprehended in connection with the crime, he was allowed bail as right to liberty under the constitution. He was granted bail against a surety of ₹50,000.
Ashok's father Ami Chand, who was present in the court, said the truth had prevailed. The family had made preparations to welcome him back. He might be released on Wednesday after all paper work is completed.
Ashok was arrested by the Gurugram police on September 8 soon after the murder the same day. However, the CBI apprehended a juvenile in connection with the murder, on November 8.
