New Delhi, July 20 : The Supreme Court on Friday denied bail to a minor accused of killing a 7-year-old boy of a private school in Gurugram district in Haryana.

On June 6, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had dismissed the bail plea of the accused. The Sessions Court and Juvenile Justice Board too had denied him bail.
Dismissing his plea, the high court had upheld the CBI argument that the case falls in the category where period of filing the chargesheet is 90 days.
The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) has declared that the accused be tried as an adult.
On September 8, 2017, the body of a child was found inside the toilet of the school, with his throat slit.
