On 5 January, the same bench summoned three lawyers including the Brahmanbaria Bar Association president on 17 January for misbehaving with Judge Mohammad Faruq.
Those summoned were Bar Association President Advocate Tanvir Ahmed Bhuiyan, Secretary (Administration) Advocate Md Akkas Ali, and Advocate Zubair Islam.

On 4 January, District Woman and Child Repression Prevention Tribunal Judge Mohammad Faruq sent a written complaint to the High Court to take action against those involved in this incident. Later, on the instructions of the Chief Justice, the Registrar General of the Supreme Court sent the written complaint of the judge to the HC bench.
On 2 January, Bar Association President Advocate Md Tanvir Bhuiyan, Secretary Advocate Md Akkas Ali and around 10-15 lawyers including Zubair Islam came and rudely asked the judge to leave the courtroom. Advocate Tanvir hurled abusive words at the court, as per the complaint.
