Following the allegations from the family and the case, the Sylhet Metropolitan Police investigation team fired four policemen, including Akbar in charge, and removed three others because they were involved in torturing Raihan to death at the outpost. . Three of the four looted are Harunur Rashid, Touhid Mia and Titu Chandra Das, agents from the Bandarbazar outpost.

Three police officers Saiful, Delwar and Shamim testified in court under section 164 on Monday (October 19). Later, on October 20, the PBI ordered agent Titu, who was fired from the police line, preventive detention for five days.
