He was taken to Hlegu Interrogation Center in a private car. On December 7, 2022, Insein Prison Court sentenced him to ten years in prison under Section 50(i) of the Counter-Terrorism Law. He was suffering from frequent dizziness and had been collapsing due to injuries sustained during interrogation. However, he did not receive adequate medical treatment while incarcerated in Thayarwady Prison. This led to his death on May 23, 2025.
