Bangladesh police have said that it would seek help and assistance from Interpol and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to nab the main conspirator behind the brutal murder of MP Anwarul Azim Anar, whose chopped body was found in an apartment in Kolkata earlier this week.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police's (DMP) Detective Branch (DB) chief Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid, while briefing the media, claimed that the fugitive mastermind might have fled the country after committing the crime.
The main conspirator 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
We will have a meeting with the officers of CID. We will try to interrogate the arrested accused so that we can get more information," news agency ANI quoted Rashid as saying.
The Bangladesh police official revealed that the mastermind behind Anar's murder, Akhtaruzzaman, might have fled from Kathmandu to the US via Dubai after committing the crime.
Rashid, along with his three-member detective branch team, arrived in Kolkata on Sunday to investigate the brutal killing of the lawmaker..
According to the West Bengal CID, Anar was smothered and killed in a flat in Kolkata and his body was chopped and minced to destroy his identity. The CID team has launched a search operation to find the body parts of the Bangladeshi MP.
The CID officials also claimed that an alleged rift over gold smuggling between Anar and his friend, who is a US citizen and his business partner, could be the cause of the crime.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh police have arrested three suspects and sent them to eight-day judicial custody for their alleged involvement in the crime.
