The deception, disappearance, and dismemberment of Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar
The HinduTrigger warning: The following article contains potentially disturbing details of violence. “We have received conclusive news from Indian police officials that MP Anwarul Azim Anar has been murdered,” Asaduzzaman Khan, Bangladesh’s Home Minister, told the media at a press conference on May 22 in Dhaka. “We have sought help from law enforcement agencies in the U.S., India, and Nepal and from the Interpol to find Akhtaruzzaman Shahin and put him on trial,” Bangladesh Home Minister Khan told the media. “A crime being committed on Indian soil by Bangladeshi immigrants who have crossed the border without valid documents is deeply problematic for India’s national security,” Prof. Lahiri says. In its first chargesheet in March 2015, the National Investigation Agency described it as a “conspiracy of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, Bangladesh, to overthrow the existing democratic government in Bangladesh through violent terrorist acts.” Meanwhile Dorin, the MP’s daughter, who is studying law in England, told Bangladeshi media that she is awaiting her visa to come to Kolkata for a DNA test, to ascertain whether the samples recovered from the septic tank indeed belong to her father.
