Gurugram (Haryana) [India], Sept. 10 (ANI): "My son has been falsely framed," said the father of the accused, who has been arrested for brutally murdering a seven-year-old student of Ryan International School in Gurugram.

While pleading for his son's innocence, the father alleged that the school authority has forced his son to accept the crime.

"My son is being falsely framed. My son is innocent; people have forcefully made him accept this crime," the father of the accused bus conductor told ANI.

He further said that the owners of the school are misleading the case.
