Indian Police Team To Arrive In Dhaka On MP Azim’s Death Incident

To investigate on the death of Jhenaidah-4 Awami League lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar, an Indian Police team is set to arrive in Dhaka today.  Sources at the Detective Branch of police told the media that the two-member team will share information and interrogate the suspects arrested in connection with the murder.

Earlier Azim, who went missing in Kolkata last week, has been murdered. Regarding the incident the government says are some Bangladeshi men involved with the killing.

However, Indian police were yet to find the body.

In Dhaka, police arrested three suspects, and West Bengal police detained a taxi driver, who is an Indian national, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told reporters yesterday.

Multiple sources in Bangladesh intelligence and law enforcement said Azim and a Bangladeshi-US citizen named Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman, locally known as Shaheen, were probably running an illegal gold business in Kolkata.

Indian police say Shaheen is a key suspect in the murder.

The two recently fell out over business matters, and there was evidence that Akhtaruzzaman hired a man named Amanullah to kill Azim, the sources added.

Amanullah then recruited two others named Mustafizur and Faisal for the job. They too were arrested on Wednesday, said an officer on the condition of anonymity.

Amanullah was arrested in Dhaka on Tuesday night.
