During the meeting, Attorney General Ruhul Quddus Kajal assured him that the government was standing by the family and that his office would play an effective role in ensuring justice in the case.

After the trial, a Dhaka court on June 7 sentenced the main accused, Sohel Rana, and his wife, Swapna Khatun, to death.
The death reference and appeals filed in the case are now awaiting hearing before the High Court Division.
