Nepal police arrested suspects Siam and Jihad, who disposed parts of the body of Jhenaidah-4 MP Md Anwarul Azim Anar in several places after he had been brutally murdered in a flat of Kolkata of India.
Detectvie Branch (DB) Chief Harun-Or-Rashid, also additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), said this while talking to reporters at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on Tuesday afternoon upon his return from Nepal.
Calling Nepal a route for the criminals to go into hiding after committing crimes, Harun claimed that arrested Siam also went to Nepal one and a half months ago.
He said many people (criminals) go to Kathmandu from Bangladesh or even to Kathmandu from Delhi. The criminals go and stay there as they use it as a route.
Akhtaruzzaman Shaheen, one of the masterminds of Anar's murder went to Delhi from Dhaka and to Kathmandu from Delhi. Siam who went to Kathmandu a month and a half ago, the DB chief said.
“We gathered several pieces of information and data and talked to Kathmandu police officers of several ranks after going there,” he said.
"We told them (Nepal police) that some criminals take people hostage in Bangladesh and bring money here. You have to take care of these things a little,” he said.
The Nepal police helped them (DB) with various information. From now on, criminals who go to Kathmandu and create a safe home will not be able to do that. That's the message they got, Harun informed.
