Earlier, Moriom Mannan's mother Rahima Begum was rescued alive by the police from Boalmari in Faridpur on Saturday night. Since September 17, she was staying at Quddus Molla's house in Boalmari, Faridpur. Quddus once worked in the Khulna jute mill and was a tenant in Rahima Begum's house.

On August 27, Rahima Begum (52) came down from her house to fetch water around 10:30 pm. As she did not return home after hours, the children went there in search of their mother and found her mother's used sandals, veil, and pitcher lying on the road. After searching all possible places at night, they did not find the mother. After that, they filed a general diary and later a case in Daulatpur police station mentioning some names.

Golam Kibria, second husband of the missing housewife Helal Hawladar, Mohiuddin, Palash and Jewel, and Helal Sharif of Daulatpur Maheshwarpasha Banikpara area.

Following the petition of the plaintiff, on September 14, the court ordered the investigation of the case to be sent to the PBI. After taking the necessary steps, PBI Khulna received the documents on September 17. Now PBI Inspector Abdul Mannan is investigating this case.

On September 22, Rahima's daughter Moriom Akhter alias Moriom Mannan claimed that she had found her mother's body. She stayed for the day at Phulpur in Mymensingh on 23 September and had a busy time.
