Rizvi is doing his LLM (Master's) at Prime University. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury allowed Rizvi to appear at the examination after his lawyer Zainul Abedin Mesbah submitted an application seeking to allow his client to sit for the examination as per the jail code.

Zainul Abedin Mesbah was assisted by Advocate Sheikh Shakil Ahmed Ripon. The examination is scheduled to be held on January 12, 13, and 19.
