Another suspect Md Siam Hossain, in the murder case of MP Anwarul Azim Anar, has been arrested in Nepal.
Nepalese police arrested Siam Hossain in Kathmandu on Thursday (30 May), reports Prothom Alo, quoting diplomatic sources.
Following the brutal murder of the Jhenaidah-4 constituency MP in a flat in Kolkata, Siam Hossain, along with "Butcher" Jihad Hawlader, disposed of some body parts and allegedly flushed the remaining parts down two commodes. Jihad Hawlader has already been arrested in Kolkata.
A four-member team from the Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), led by DB Chief Harun-or-Rashid, departed for Kathmandu this morning.
The team left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka around 10am.
Before departing, Harun briefed journalists, stating that several suspects involved in the murder of Azim went to Kathmandu. Some have left for other countries, while others are still there.
"We have informed the Nepalese police through Interpol and requested their arrest," he added.
Harun said many terrorists from Bangladesh have been using Kathmandu as an escape route recently.
"Akhtaruzzaman Shahin, the alleged mastermind behind MP Anwarul Azim Anar's murder, fled to Nepal before escaping to another country. We have similar information about other suspects," he said.
The DB chief said, "Top terrorists have been seen staying there before. Like in India, we will also go to Nepal to investigate. We will interact with the local police there to prevent criminals from finding refuge."
