Bangladesh MP killing: Dhaka police team arrives in city, says trying to trace accused businessman via Interpol

While four arrests have been made in the case till now, Akhtaruzzaman and three other accused in the case are still at large, police said.
Talking to media persons at the Kolkata airport, Harun-or-Rashid, who is also the DMP additional commissioner, said “We will seek help from the Interpol to bring back Akhtaruzzaman, the fugitive mastermind behind Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar’s death…

Akhtaruzzaman may have escaped from Kathmandu to the US via Dubai. We are trying to trace him through Interpol. We will go to the CID office and meet the officers. We will try to interrogate the arrested accused so that we can get more information.”

According to sources, the DMP officers will also be interrogating Hawaldar, who allegedly skinned Azim’s body, chopped it into small pieces and packed them in polythene bags to be dumped at separate places within the city limits. On Sunday, the CID also conducted search operations to find the body parts by throwing nets in parts of the Bagjola canal near Jirengacha and Krishnamati Setu.

Sources said the weapon used to kill Azim is yet to be found. There is a possibility that Azim fell out with Akhtaruzzaman over the proceeds of a gold business. We learnt that Azim used to trade gold with Akhtaruzzaman, a source said.

A member of the ruling Awami League party in Bangladesh, Azim had arrived in India for medical treatment on May 12.
