Recovered body parts assumed to be of MP Anwarul Azim Anar

Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Branch Chief Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid has stated that although the 4 kg of meat recovered from the septic tank is initially believed to be that of MP Anwarul Azim Anar, confirmation will only come with the forensic report.

“Our investigation in Kolkata has been successful. We have gathered the necessary information and evidence related to the murder of MP Anar,” he told reporters on Thursday upon returning from Kolkata at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

He added, "The investigation into Anar‍‍`s murder has progressed significantly with the recovery of evidence and the collection of digital data. The forensic report will provide definitive confirmation."

The “main planner of the murder, Akhtaruzzaman Shaheen, is currently in the United States. Another suspect is in Nepal. We plan to bring them back through Interpol,” he mentioned. He also added, “We have requested India to assist us through Interpol in bringing Shaheen back.”

The Kolkata police, desperate to find the missing MP Anar, were advised to search the sewer line based on the "water theory." Additionally, he mentioned that once the forensic test report is received, it will be sent for a DNA test. The daughter of MP Anwarul Azim Anar from Jhenaidah-4 constituency, Dorin, will soon travel to Kolkata for the DNA test.
