CBI arrests Class XI boy with allegedly killing Pradyuman
New Delhi : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Class XI student for the murder of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur, who was found dead in Gurugram’s Ryan International School in August, media reports have said .
The arrested accused is a student from the same school as Pradyuman. According to reports , he was detained from his residence in Sohna near Gurugram. According to reports the Class XI student was the first to spot and identify Pradyuman’s body in August. However, his family has said the boy is innocent and has been “wrongly framed”. “The CBI has arrested my child illegally. They claim he killed Pradyuman. However, this is not true,” the father of the accused said.
CBI will be filing the chargesheet on 18 November. CBI is also questioning the family members of the Class XI boy in the case. “We want the boy to be tried as an adult…We will demand nothing less than the death penalty,” Sushil Tekriwal, Pradyuman’s parents’ lawyer, told .
Sources have also told that the boy has confessed to the crime and the CBI decided to arrest the boy on Tuesday evening. The clearance for the arrest reportedly came from top officials in the CBI. The sources also told the news channel that the parents of the arrested boy have been asked to join the investigation.
CBI soures also told that the low resolution of the CCTV footage of the incident was a problem earlier. The family of the bus conductor, who had earlier been accused of murdering Pradyuman, has also said that even though they are relieved, they will not be happy until the truth comes out. The family also demanded a fair trial in this case. Ashok, the bus conductor, had earlier alleged that he tortured and forced to confess to the crime.
Pradyuman’s father Barun Chandra Thakur was quotedas accusing the Gurugram police of neglecting the “actual facts” in the case. “There is more than one angle to the case. It’s not just the role of the conductor but there are many others who also need to be probed,” Thakur had said.
Pradyuman, a Class II student of Ryan International School, was found dead in the school toilet with his throat slit on 8 August.
The Haryana government had earlier recommended a CBI probe in the matter following a massive outrage. The agency took over the probe on 22 September.
The Gurugram Police had earlier arrested Ryan International School’s bus conductor and had interrogated several school staff including a gardener and drivers.
Ryan Pinto, CEO of the Ryan International Group, was also quizzed in the case.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
