The High Court on Tuesday directed the government to transfer the investigation into Aminbazar's six-students killing case to Rab from the Criminal Investigation Department.

Acting on a petition filed by the parents of the deceased students, an HC bench also ordered the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) to complete the investigation within four months.

A mob of several hundred villagers bludgeoned the six students to death at Keblarchar of Baradeshi village when they went there in the early hours of July 18, 2011.

Deputy Attorney General Ekramul Haque Tutul told The Daily Star that the High Court on Tuesday ordered the inspector general of police (IGP) and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner to transfer the investigation responsibility of the case to Rab within 7 days after getting the copy of the order.

The parents of the victims filed the petition with the HC bench today.

In the petition, they appealed to the HC to transfer the investigation responsibility of the case to the Rab saying that the CID had failed to investigate the case.

High Court on June 17 ordered the CID to complete the investigation within a month, the petition added.

An HC bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Abdur Rob passed the transfer order.
