Nabab Chowdhury failed to appear in court because he had been drinking with his assistants the night before the hearing. His irresponsible behavior stemmed from his chaotic lifestyle and lack of professionalism, despite having promised Shuvra he would win her case.

Shuvra's mother suffered a heart attack due to the immense emotional stress caused by the relentless ridicule and social stigma her daughter faced after the assault. The constant pressure from neighbors and the community, combined with the deterioration of Shuvra's case in court, proved too much for her mother's health.

The police hesitated to take up the case because the perpetrators, particularly Newaz Bashar, were connected to powerful political figures. Newaz is the younger brother of MP Azimul Bashar, and the police feared retaliation and wanted to avoid confronting someone with such political influence.

The connection between Newaz Bashar and his brother MP Azimul Bashar created significant obstacles throughout Shuvra's case. The police initially refused to register the case due to this political power, and the influential family was able to hire top lawyer Azhar Chowdhury to defend them, demonstrating how political power can obstruct justice.

Shuvra's sister traveled to Nabab Chowdhury's home to confront him about his failure to appear in court, which had contributed to the public ridicule of her sister and the family. She blamed Nabab for the chain of events that led to their mother's death and demanded he take up the case to honor her memory.

Azhar Chowdhury betrayed Shuvra because he prioritized financial gain and political protection over justice. By defending the rapists, particularly Newaz Bashar who was connected to MP Azimul Bashar, he chose the side with more power and influence, effectively selling out the survivor for professional advantage.

When Nabab failed to appear in court, the absence created space for Azhar Chowdhury to divert the case and cast doubt on Shuvra's character. Combined with existing social stigma around sexual assault victims, the court and public opinion began to label her as characterless, undermining her credibility despite being the victim.
