Mojibur Rahman, Nilanjana Rifat Surovi and other lawyers appealed for bail on behalf of Pori Moni which was denied by the court.

In this regard, inspector Golam Mostafa said, "It’s absolutely necessary to keep Pori Moni in jail until the investigation of the case is completed. If the accused is released on bail, the investigation into the case may be hampered. There is even the possibility of absconding."
