The court of Third Additional Metropolitan Session's Judge HLA Mong in the verdict of an arms case awarded the punishment to Laltu alias Anam.

The court heard the testimony of eight witnesses during the trial before handing down the verdict.

Laltu was arrested on October 3, 2005 at the Chittagong Court premises immediately after a bomb exploded at the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Akram Hossain.

Following his confession, a team of Detective Branch of Police raided Colonel Haat area of Kattali under Pahartali Police Station and recovered a locally made gun and two cartridges on October 4, 2005.

An arms case was filed with the concerned Pahartali Police Station later on and the charge sheet of the case was submitted on October 14, 2005.

After hearing the verdict, the convict in his reaction said he does not recognise the judgment, as it was not given according to the teachings of the holy Quran and Sunnah.
