MP Anar's murder: Case filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station

A case has been filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in connection with the murder of Jhenaidah-4 lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata.

Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin, daughter of MP Azim, filed the case against unnamed persons on Wednesday afternoon.

In the case statement, Dorin mentioned that on May 9, her father left NAM Bhawan (Members of Parliament's residential building) on Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka to go to their village home, Jhenaidah.

Two days later, on May 11 at 5:45pm, she spoke to him on a mobile phone which was found switched off later on.

"On May 13, we received a message from my father's Indian SIM number. It said, 'I am going to Delhi suddenly, I have VIPs with me. I am going to meet Amit Shah. Don't need to call me. I will call you later.' Apart from this, several other messages also came," reads the statement.

According to the case statement, the abductors took hold of Anar's phone and sent the messages.

"We kept searching for my father in different places. Finding no trace of him, my father's friend Gopal Biswas lodged a general diary on 18 May at the Radhanagar police station in Kolkata.

"We continued to search for my father. Later, we came to know through various news media and social media that unknown persons had kidnapped my father in a pre-planned and coordinated manner.

"We searched for my father in all possible places but could not find him anywhere," it added.

Anwarul Azim was found dead on Wednesday in a hotel in Kolkata of West Bengal, eight days after he had gone missing there.

Chief of the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Mohammad Harun or Rashid said the killers of Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar were Bangladeshis.
