[3] In October 2008, bombs were left at Chaklader's residence at the Judges' Complex on Park Avenue in Kakrail. [4] Barrister Rafique-ul Huq condemned the presence of a major at the Bangladesh Supreme Court deciding the cause list of the court violating policy at a discussion organized by the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association protesting the discovery of bombs at Chaklader's residence.

[7] [8] on 25 May 2014, Chaklader abstained from work following a call of the Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum, a pro-Bangladesh Nationalist Party lawyers association. [9]

Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha sought an explanation from Chaklader and Justice A. K. M. Shahidul Huq who made some observations on the eviction of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in April 2015. [10]
