The case Was reopened in 2009 after the Bangladesh Awami League came to power. The trial has stalled because of the prosecution has failed to bring the accused to court. Mufti Hannan, chief of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami, is in custody but cannot be presented in court dates because he is accused in 51 cases all over Bangladesh. This has delayed trial. Two of the accused are in Jail in New Delhi, India and two other have been freed on bail.
