Ali Shuaib, of Raveena in Kumundhoo, was found not guilty because there had not been enough evidence to convict him. According to the charges against him, Shuaib had attacked the Bangladeshi man on 30 November, 2008. The expatriate worker had died on 29 December, 2008, while undergoing treatment for the injuries to his head.

The charges state that than an argument had erupted between Shuaib and some Bangladeshi on 30 November, and that Shuaib had attacked the Bangladeshi man as he was riding a bicycle down Fandiyaaru Magu that night. Shuaib had struck the man over the head with the length of wood causing severe injuries to his head. The Bangladeshi man had died while undergoing treatment for the injuries.

According to Haveeru sources, two people had testified at the trial.
