The High Court yesterday directed police to place a report to it by February 9 on the progress of investigation into the case filed over the incident of maiming seven-year-old Neyamul and forcing him into begging.
The victim is the son of Umed Ali, a rickshaw-puller of Ashrafabad in the city's Kamrangirchar.
An HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain passed the order during hearing the matter concerning the incident.
Earlier on January 2, the bench issued a suo moto rule on the government to stop such incidents and ordered police to enforce the rule of Dhaka Metropolitan Ordinance 1986 that restricts begging in the capital.
