According to the case documents, Enamul joined the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement on July 19 in the city's Bhatara area. The rally came under attack, and he was shot in the leg. Enamul was rushed to the nearby hospital, where he received treatment.

Enamul filed the case on May 3 against 283 people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
