On Friday, a court in Bangladesh made the decision to put three suspects in police custody for eight days. They are believed to have played a role in the brutal murder of Anwarul Azim Anar, a member of the ruling Awami League party, while he was in India. Anar, who had been a parliamentarian for three terms and was also the president of the Awami League's Kaliganj sub-district unit, had traveled to Kolkata on May 12 for medical treatment. However, he went missing the following day.
According to reports from the Kolkata police, it is believed that Anar was strangled and killed before his body was cut into pieces and scattered in different areas. So far, authorities have not been able to locate any traces of his body or body parts.
In connection with the murder, three individuals were arrested by the Bangladesh police. On Friday, they were brought before the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dilruba Afroz Tithi, where the police requested a 10-day remand for the suspects. However, after the court hearing, the trio was sent to an eight-day police remand.
The Bangladesh police have revealed that one of the suspects, Shimul Bhuiyan, had changed his name to Amanullah and obtained a fake passport in order to carry out the killing and avoid being caught by law enforcement. The murder was allegedly planned several months ago, with meetings taking place at two different houses owned by the mastermind and close friend of the MP, Aktaruzzaman Shahin. After the murder, Shahin, who is a Bangladeshi-born American citizen, fled to Nepal.
In an effort to gather more information about the case, a team from the West Bengal CID visited Bangladesh on Thursday to question the three accused. Meanwhile, in a separate development, a police officer in Kolkata has claimed that a Bangladeshi citizen, who works as a butcher, has been arrested for his involvement in Anar's murder. During interrogation, the man admitted to helping the other suspects in dismembering the victim's body and disposing of the parts in different locations.
Further investigations have also revealed that the MP's close friend, Akhtaruzzaman, who is a US citizen, had paid a large sum of money to those involved in the crime. He is believed to be currently residing in the US, but also owns a flat in Kolkata. Anar's daughter, Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin, filed the case against the suspects on May 22. The Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate has set a deadline of July 4 for the submission of the probe report in the case.
