Bullying led to killing of Notre Dame student
Notre Dame College student HM Iqbal yesterday claimed bullying forced him to kill classmate Mohammad Azizul Hakim alias Babu on June 4 in the city's Motijheel area, said investigators.
Earlier in the day, he was arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion at his relatives' house at Indrapasa village in Jhalakathi.
In primary interrogation, Iqbal, 20, a first-year student of the college, alleged his classmates Babu and Derick Rao had made his life unbearable by relentless sneers for his hailing from a village. They would often ridicule him before other classmates.
Iqbal said he had complained to a couple of teachers, but to no avail.
In the meantime, Babu and Rao kept on fraying his temper.
To avenge humiliation, Iqbal said, he took Babu to a house in Motijheel on June 4 and stabbed him.
The following day he learnt from newspapers that Babu had succumbed to his injuries.
