In accordance with the claim of Dr. Athif, the case was handed over to PBI on December-23,2017 and a second time post mortem of the dead body was conducted after exhuming the body from the grave. The postmortem report once again mentioned Raudha was killed by hanging with a rope around her neck. No one was accused in the case in the PBI report. Aftrwards, two police officials from the Maldives arrived in Rajshahi for further investigation.
On May 18, Saidur rahman, Sub-Inspector of PBI and Investigation Officer of the case submitted the Final Report of the case to the court of Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate and on May-29, the court accepted the report. The report mentioned, the Maldive's model, IBMC student Raudha Athif had committed suicide.
