Report submission on ex-MP Anar murder deferred Oct 21

A court here on Sunday re-fixed October 21 for submitting the investigation report on former parliament member from Jhenaidah -4 constituency Anwarul Azim Anar's abduction and murder.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque fixed the date afresh as the Detective Branch of Police couldn't submit the report on Sunday.

Anwarul, a three-time MP and also president of Kaliganj upazila unit Awami League, went to India on May 12 on a personal visit to undergo treatment. He went missing on May 13 after going out of his place of residence in Kolkata's Borah Nagar area.

According to the Kolkata police sources, Anwarul was taken to a flat in New Town in Kolkata, where he is believed to have been strangled to death and his body was cut into pieces and dumped at different areas by the killers. Traces of his body or body parts are yet to be found.

The victim's daughter Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin filed the case with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station on May 22.
