Matchbox Shots India’s Matchbox Shots has acquired the screen rights to “The Gurugram School Murder,” crime journalist Leena Dhankhar’s account of the 2017 killing of a child at an elite school in Gurugram.
The adaptation draws from Dhankhar’s reporting on one of India’s most prominent criminal cases. On Sept. 8, 2017, a seven-year-old boy known publicly as Prince was found with his throat slit inside a school bathroom. Local police initially detained an innocent school bus conductor before the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested a fellow student, who was accused of carrying out the killing allegedly to secure the postponement of an examination.
