Expressing satisfaction over the verdict, Chuadanga Additional District and Sessions Judge Court's Additional Public Prosecutor Gias Uddin said, "We are happy that the state was able to prove the allegation against the accused."

Convict Shaikhul Islam is the son of late Altaf Hossain hailed from Panjakaran village in Moralganj upazila of Bagerhat.

According to the case statement, the incident occurred at Courtmor area in Chuadanga district town on 17 August 2005 during the countrywide serial blasts. Following this, Sub-Inspector (SI) Abdul Motaleb of Chuadanga Sadar Police Station filed a case under the Arms and Explosives Act accusing unknown people in connection with the blast.

On 8 March 2007, investigating officer SI Kamruzzaman submitted the charge sheet of the case before a Chuadanga court after an investigation. It took the court 17 years to pronounce the verdict after recording statements of 17 witnesses in the case.
