Bangladeshi MP murder case: Dhaka police’s team to visit Kolkata for probe
Hindustan TimesA team of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police will visit India to investigate the brutal killing of Bangladeshi lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar, who was found murdered in Kolkata earlier this week. Bangladeshi lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anar Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid, chief of the Detective Branch, told a press conference here on Saturday that he along with several officers of the DB “will leave Dhaka for India tonight or tomorrow dawn to investigate the murder incident.” A four-member team of Indian police is currently investigating the murder incident, he added. Anar, a three-time parliamentarian from the Jhenaidah-4 segment in Bangladesh and also the president of Awami League's Kaliganj sub-district unit left Dhaka on May 12 to undergo medical treatment at Kolkata, from where he went missing the very next day. A Bangladesh court on Friday sent three suspects to an eight-day police remand for their alleged involvement in Anar’s brutal murder while in India, the West Bengal police claimed to have arrested a Bangladeshi, working as a butcher in Mumbai, from North 24 Parganas district for his alleged involvement in the grisly murder.
