Kolkata: The ongoing investigation into the gruesome murder of Bangladeshi MP Anwarul Azim Anar has taken a new twist, with West Bengal CID officials on Saturday claiming that the gold smuggling aspect could be a possible reason behind the murder.
Investigators claimed that Ana and her friends, who are an American citizen and her business partner, could be the cause of an alleged rift crime over gold smuggling.
A CID officer also said that it would not be an easy task to find the body of pomegranate as it was cut into about 80 pieces and was thrown at several places about 12 days ago, the officer said.
The state CID official said, "The murder may be the result of a rift between a politician and his friend and a partner ... We are also investigating this aspect."
He said that the investigating agency officials continued to search for the body parts of the Bangladeshi MLA in a canal in Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district throughout the day, where the arrested butcher took them."It has been almost 12 days since the murder and the body parts wrapped in plastic bags were thrown into the canal. The flesh can be eaten by fish and other animals. We have searched for them," the CID officer said. Divers have been deployed."
The CID officer said the arrested butcher had admitted to cutting the MP's body into more than 80 pieces before disposing of it at various places in Bhangar.
He said, CID officials were also taking the help of a cab driver who had taken the accused persons to various places before dropping them near Bangaon.The search for the missing MP, who had reportedly arrived in Kolkata on May 12 to seek treatment, began after Gopal Biswas, a resident of Baranagar in north Kolkata and an acquaintance of the Bangladeshi politician, lodged a complaint with the local police on May 18. On arrival, Anar stayed at Biswas's house.
In his complaint, Biswas said that Anar had left his Baranagar residence for a doctor's appointment on the afternoon of May 13, saying he would return home for dinner.
Biswas claimed that the Bangladesh MP was not contacted on May 17, forcing him to file a missing complaint a day later.
