Earlier in the day, Verma had moved a bail plea in the court, after the bus conductor was cleared of the charges. The bail plea pending before the court is scheduled for a hearing on November 17, and states that the accused conductor is "falsely implicated" in the case.

Last week, the investigative agency arrested a class XI student of the Ryan International School for the murder of his schoolmate Pradyuman Thakur, and gave a clean chit to Ashok, who was arrested by the Gurugram Police for the murder and sexual assault of the child.
