He will be kept there till November 22, which is also the next date of hearing in the case.

The CBI on Friday questioned the teenager for nearly seven hours on various aspects of the case. He was reportedly asked how he got the idea to kill someone to get examination and parents teacher meeting delayed, what he did after the crime, whom he spoke to and whether he confide in others.
The CBI is trying to investigate all possible reasons which might have triggered the murder.
The Class XI student’s arrest was made by the CBI rejecting Gurgaon police’s theory that the killing was the handiwork of school bus conductor Ashok Kumar.
As per CBI’s theory, the Class 11 student allegedly slit Pradhuman’s throat to get the school to declare a holiday in order to defer a scheduled parent-teacher meeting (PTM) and an examination.
