According to the prosecution, Fatema brought her nephew Rabiul to Dhaka from Ramnagar, Bandar, with a lure of job but she trafficked him to Dubai on February 25, 1998 with the connivance of Shaheda and Phul Miah.

Serving as a jockey in Dubai, Rabiul, son of Habibur Rahman, was critically injured after falling off a camel on July 6 in 2001. Later, he died in a hospital there.
