Recovered body parts, bones confirmed to be of male

Preliminary forensic report has confirmed that the body parts and bones, which were recovered from different places in Kolkata, and belived to be of Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar, are of a male.

Akhilesh Chaturvedi, IG of West Bengal CID, told media on Monday that they will now take approval from court for DNA profiling to ascertain whether the flesh and bones belong to MP Anar who was murdered in the New Town flat on May 13.

Talking to the Times of India, he said: "This will require diplomatic permission. We are expecting the MP's daughter, Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin, to come to India for the last round of DNA matching. The entire sequence of DNA matching may take some more time."

Once the permission comes through, the agency will again seek the court's nod to ask a family member of Azim to come to Kolkata to give their DNA sample, reports a number of media outlets in Bangladesh.

West Bengal CID sources said it would now focus on finding the instruments or weapons used to kill Azim. It was Siyam Hossain, brought from Nepal to Kolkata last week, who procured the items, and he would be taken to the shop from where he procured those.

The CID is also looking for an electrical chopper that was used to mince Azim's body, an investigator said.
