A four-member team from the Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) is en route to Nepal following an investigation in India, to probe the murder of Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar.
The team, led by the DB Chief Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid, is focusing on the main accused in the murder, Akhtaruzzaman Shaheen.
Before departing Dhaka, Harun addressed media reports about the arrest of a person named Siam in Nepal. “I can't say anything at this moment. But we are going for an investigation. We will let you know soon,” Harun told journalists at Dhaka Airport this morning.
Harun revealed that the suspects in Anar's murder had used the Nepal route. "We have spoken to Jihad in India. We have several suspects related to Anar's murder, apart from the main culprit. Both sides have discussed this matter," he said.
He also noted that several major criminals from Bangladesh, including suspects in Anar's murder, have recently been using the Kolkata route.
“Considering everything, we have also written to Interpol to check if there are any criminals in that area. Overall, we are going to Nepal mainly for investigation," Harun added.
