Following formal appeals and grievances filed by the families of the addicted youths, administrative authorities verified the complaints and swiftly mobilized a mobile court operation. Magistrate Md. Mosharrof Hossain sentenced Sirajul Islam to 7 months of rigorous imprisonment alongside a fine of BDT 500, while Rakibul Hasan was sentenced to 6 months of rigorous imprisonment with a fine of BDT 1,000.
