On June 15, Jahan Ali, a student of class VII of Monipur Cadet School, and his friends Sohel Rana Rajib and Masud slit the throats of his classmates Badhon, Wadidul Kabir Tonmoy and Kazi Nibrush Niluv at the residence of Badhon at Madhya Monipur at Mirpur.

In their statement, the parents of Badhon mentioned that the charges of negligence in taking care of their son were false and baseless. Probation officer of Social Welfare Directorate Mafuza Parveen Chowdhury brought the charges against them on July 19. Badhon's parents added that the probation officer did not interrogate them and their son about the facts.

On the other hand, Mafuza's lawyer contradicted the statements of Badhon's parents.

After hearing both the sides, CMM Jalal Ahmed directed Mafuza to interrogate Badhon and his parents again and submit a report by October 1.

On August 23, the chief metropolitan magistrate summoned the Badhon's parents -- MA Hamid and Guley Noor Begum -- to explain why charges of negligence in taking care of their son would not be brought against them.

The CMM issued the order following a probe report submitted by the probation officer.

The court also directed the investigation officer (IO) Rabiul Islam and the probation officer on June 19 to submit a report about the negligence by the victims' parents. Following the directive, Mafuza, incharge of Mirpur area, submitted the report saying that she did not find any negligence on part of the parents of Tonmoy and Niluv in taking care of their sons while Badhon's parents did not take care of their son. They were always out of their house for jobs.

Jahan and Rajib confessed to a magistrate on June 18 and 20 that they also looted valuables from Badhon's house on June 15.
