Indian investigators have found around four kilograms of flesh, suspected to be of slain Bangladeshi lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar, in a septic tank at Sanjeeva Garden of Kolkata on Tuesday.
MP Anar was reportedly killed in one of the flats in the upscale New Town area of Kolkata on May 13 or thereabouts.
The breakthrough in the investigation came on a clue provided by Bangladesh CID chief Harun Or Rashid who went to Kolkata in connection with the investigation on MP Anars murder. Accused killer Jihad gave the tips to CID when he was interrogated.
Primarily, it is believed to be the body parts of murdered Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar. It has been sent to the forensic laboratory to confirm the assumption. Weeks after the gruesome murder of the Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar, the West Bengal CID has recovered body parts from the septic tank of the New Town flat in Kolkata on Tuesday. They suspect the body parts are of MP Anar.
The West Bengal CID has dismantled the sewerage line, septic tank, and commode of the flat, where the lawmaker was murdered, as per the request of the Bangladesh Detective Branch.
Finally, the body parts were found searching the septic tank. The law enforcers are now suspecting that the body parts belong to the slain lawmaker, said an official of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The official, requesting anonymity, told The Daily Observer, "We need to verify the body parts after conducting a DNA and forensic test."
Earlier in the morning, DB chief Harun Or Rashid said they had requested to break the sewerage line of Sanjeeva Gardens in search of the lawmakers body.
Anar went to Kolkata on May 12 and stayed the night at his friend Gopal Biswass house. He left the next day, saying he had a doctors appointment. Gopal later received a couple of texts from Anars mobile phone that said there was no need to call him. On May 22, India and Bangladesh police said the MP was murdered at a flat in New Town, Kolkata.
Kolkata police searched the pipe of the sewerage line and septic tank of the building on Tuesday afternoon and found the body parts but the law enforcers could not confirm whether these are of MP Anar.
"Then, we came to India and suggested Indian police to search the septic tank of the bathroom and a while ago, some body parts were recovered from the pipe," he said.
