A Dhaka court has directed the police to submit an inquiry report of the case filed over the abduction of Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar, who was killed in India recently, by July 4 next.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Huque passed the order on Thursday (May 23).
Jalal Uddin, sub-inspector (SI) of Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station, confirmed the matter.
On Wednesday, a case was filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in Dhaka in connection with the murder of Jhenaidah-4 lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata.
Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin, daughter of Azim, filed the abduction case.
In the case statement, Dorin mentioned that on May 9, her father left NAM Bhaban (Members of Parliament's residential building) on Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka to go to their village home, Jhenaidah.
Two days later, at 5:45pm on May 11, she spoke to him on a mobile phone which was found switched off later on, mentions Dorin.
"On May 13, we received a message from my father's Indian SIM number. It said, 'I am going to Delhi suddenly, I have VIPs with me. I am going to meet Amit Shah. Don't need to call me. I will call you later.' Apart from this, several other messages also came."
In the case statement, Dorin said she suspected that the abductors took hold of her father's phone and sent the messages.
"We kept searching for my father in different places. Finding no trace of him, my father's friend Gopal Biswas lodged a general diary on May 18 at Radhanagar Police Station in Kolkata."
"We continued to search for my father. Later, we came to know through various news media and social media that unknown persons had kidnapped my father in a pre-planned and coordinated manner."
"We searched for my father in all possible places but could not find him anywhere," it added.
Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar traveled to India on May 12 for medical treatment.
Two days later, he could not be located. On Wednesday morning, the Kolkata Police reported his death.
Dhaka and Kolkata police said Anwarul Azim Anar was murdered at a flat at Sanjeeva Gardens in New Town of Kolkata at night on May 13. A general diary was registered at Barahnagar Police Station in connection with his missing on May 18. After initiating an inquiry into his mission, Kolkata police learnt that there were two persons -- Syed Amanullah (Shimul Bhuiyan) and Shilasti Rahman -- in that flat. Then the DB arrested both of them in Dhaka. Another person named Faisal Ali Saji was also arrested later on.
