 Soon after the claim, Shahjahan's brother brought a certified copy from a lower court that stated that Shahjahan was never accused in any cases filed in any of the police stations in the country and the story seemed baseless because Shahjahan's brother saw him in the Rakkhi Bahini custody on 2 January 1974 which was three days later the claimed date of Shahjahan's elopement.During the trial of Rakkhi Bahini members the Rakkhi Bahini commander explained to the court that Shahjahan fled while the Rakhkhi Bahini took him to recover arms at Mohammadpur on 31 December 1974.The court dismissed these allegations.
