Judge Arshad Javed oversaw the proceedings, concluding that the terrorism charges would be dropped, allowing the case to continue in a different court.

The police have identified several individuals—Altamash Saqlain, Nadeem, Muhammad Ali (also known as Chand Butt), Malik Khurram Shehzad, and Adil Sarwar—as guilty.
