Chief Metropolitan Magistrate KM Enamul Haque, accompanied by judicial enquiry officer Utpal Roy Chowdhury, submitted the 200-page report to the Supreme Court.
“The victims were not robbers. They were completely innocent,” a source said quoting the findings of the report placed to Supreme Court registrar AKM Shamsul Islam.
On September 19 in 2011, a police investigation on the lynching of the six college students also said the suspects were not involved in any criminal activities.
The departmental investigation, led by Additional IGP Amiruddin, also found negligence in duty by the on-duty police personnel responsible for the killings.
Police allegedly forced Al-Amin, the lone survivor of the mass beating at Keblarchar of Aminbazar to admit that they had gone to the place to smoke cannabis.
Al-Amin made the allegation talking to newsmen at his Darussalam residence.
