Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday spoke with his Haryana counterpart Manohar Lal Khattar and the family members of a seven-year-old schoolboy who was found murdered in the washroom of his school at Gurugram. He urged Khattar to meet the family as it would instill a sense of confidence in them, and also ensure a prompt and impartial probe into the "most brutal" incident.
An official release said Khattar assured Kumar that he would meet the boy's family members and ensure a fast and impartial investigation. The family originally hails from the Madhubani district of Bihar.
"I talked to the mother and the uncle of the victim this morning to express my heartfelt grief over the incident. And after talking to them, I had a telephonic conversation with Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar," Kumar told reporters.
Asked if he discussed recommending a CBI probe into the incident with the Haryana CM as demanded by the family, Kumar said he urged Khattar to satisfy the family with the probe.
