Jafar Ali Mondal (46), Meheruddin Mondal (60), Sofiar Mondal (70), and Hasanur Molla (26), who taught and worked in the orphanage-madrasa, sustained severe stab injuries on their heads, faces, hands, back and shoulders. They are now being treated in the Bongaon Jiban Ratan Dhar Sub-Divisional Hospital. Their condition is critical but stable.
