Renuka Shahane: We have left humanity behind in the race for grades

Bollywood actress, television actress and presenter, Renuka Shahane has re-positioned herself as a social commentator and shares her opinions of social and political happenings in and around the globe.  In the latest development in the Ryan Murder case, it was revealed that a Class 11 student killed 'Pradyuman'. 



CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said the Class 11 student was detained on Tuesday night after "inspection of the crime spot, scrutiny of CCTV footage, call records, statements and questioning of several people" revealed that he had carried a knife inside the school campus on the day of the crime and used it to kill his junior schoolmate. "The weapon used in the commission of the crime is a knife which was recovered initially by police in Gurugram (Haryana). It is now with us," Dayal told reporters here.


He said the detained student was weak in studies and "wanted to ha the e examination and parent-teacher meeting postponed". Pradhuman, 7, was his random target. The parents of the detained student were kept informed throughout the investigation, said the spokesperson for the Central Bureau of Investigation.

In a long Facebook post, Renuka Shahane has called out everyone, right from the education system to the school and the rich in the gruesome 'Ryan Murder Case'. She writes "I'm sure all of you must have heard who the real culprit is in the Pradyuman murder case. The CBI has taken into custody an 11th grader who allegedly thought nothing of slitting the throat of an innocent 7-year-old school boy just so that the school will have to declare a holiday, exams won't be held & ptm won't follow soon after. It sickens me how violence is considered cool these days & in the run for grades we've left humanity far behind. The rich parents, the management of the school & the Gurugram police who did such a shoddy job, didn't mind making a scapegoat of an innocent man whose only crime was his poverty. It's time "International Schools" wake up & start actually educating their pupils. And somewhere I hope somebody is teaching the rich that not everything can be bought with money; definitely not good values & definitely not a good education. There are no shortcuts in life & no expressway has milestones! RIP Pradyuman"

Renuka's post is an eye-opener and questions the system and she does not indulge in blaming the individual.
