Kolkata, West Bengal CID on Friday said it is making arrangements to bring one of the prime suspects in the brutal murder of Bangladeshi MP Anwarul Azim Anar to Kolkata from Nepal.
Muhammad Siam Hussain, who had fled to Nepal after allegedly killing Anar in the New Town area of the city, was caught from the border area of the neighboring country last Thursday, sources said.
A West Bengal CID official said the decision to transfer the accused to Indian authorities was prompted by the fact that the slain Bangladeshi MLA was last seen in the city.
"We are bringing him to the city. He will be brought here because the crime has been committed in our jurisdiction," the CID officer said.
According to police reports, Siam fled to Nepal along with the alleged key conspirator, a Bangladesh-born US citizen, who later fled to Dubai before returning to the US.
Meanwhile, the search for body parts of the deceased Bangladeshi MP continued on Friday, the official said.
Efforts to trace the missing MP, who reportedly reached Kolkata on May 12 for treatment, are underway after Gopal Biswas, a resident of North Kolkata's Baranagar and an acquaintance of the Bangladeshi politician, lodged a complaint with the local police in May. 18. Anar stayed at Biswas's residence upon his arrival.
In his complaint, Biswas mentioned that Anar had left his Baranagar residence for a doctor's appointment on the afternoon of May 13 and was expected to be back home for dinner. However, Anar's disappearance on 17 May prompted Biswas to file a missing person's report the next day.
