The court had directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate the case.
Russell Chowdhury took the case document from the court's Seresta on the pretext of handing it to the PBI directly. A few days later, Russell himself submitted an investigation report to the court Seresta.
When the report went to the court, the court informed the police that the report appears to be inconsistent.
Later, the court police, in an investigation, found out that Russell had fraudulently taken the case file from seresta and used a former PBI official's name, signature, and seal to submit a fake report.
A case was later filed against him and unidentified persons with the Kotwali police station on 29 November.
