A Dhaka court on Tuesday rejected the plea for bail by accused Silisti Rahman in a case lodged over the abduction and murder of Awami League lawmaker of Jenaidah-4 Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata, India.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Torikul Islam passed the order as counsel of Silisti pleaded for her bail.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Tahmina Haque on Monday had turned down bail pleas of another two accused Shimul Bhuiyan and Tanvir Bhuiyan.
Earlier separate courts showed Shimul, Tanvir, and Silisti Rahman arrested in the case and placed them on a total 13-day remand each on two terms. The three have already given confessional statements in the case.
The victim's daughter Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin filed the case on May 22 with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Anwarul Azim Anar, a lawmaker from the ruling Awami League, crossed the Darshana-Gede border into India for treatment on May 12. He stayed at his friend Gopal Biswas’s home in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal.
The following day, he left to see a doctor at around noon and was expected to return in the evening. However, a WhatsApp message from his phone to Biswas said that he had gone to Delhi instead and would call if necessary.
Since then, he could not be reached by phone. Eventually, the Bangladesh government confirmed his death on May 22, citing Indian police.
