The daughter of Awami League MP Anwarul Azim Anar, who has been murdered in India, filed an abduction case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station on Wednesday (22 May).
Mumtarin Ferdous Doreen filed the case against unnamed persons, said Md Ahad, officer-in-charge of the police station.
"As his body has not been found yet and we have not been officially informed about his death, we registered it as an abduction case," he said.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said, "He [MP Anar] was brutally killed at a flat in New Town, near Kolkata. It was a preplanned murder. We have got information that people from our country were involved in the killing.”
The killers Anwarul Azim Anar were Bangladeshis, said Chief of the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Mohammad Harun or Rashid.
In the case statement, Doreen said her father on 9 May left his official residence at Manik Mia Avenue for his village home in Jhenaidah.
She last spoke with him around 4:45am on 11 May over phone, which was found switched off later on.
