Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin, daughter of the recently murdered Jhenaidah-4 lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anar, said on Wednesday that the Detective Branch’s (DB) investigation into the killing is losing steam day by day.
"The activities of the DB are decreasing daily. I have learned from various sources that they are under pressure, which is causing a slowdown in my father's murder case probe and their overall operations," she said this at a human chain in the Raghunathpur Bazar area on the Jhenaidah-Kushtia highway.
She further said: “Gas Babu (Kazi Kamal Ahmed Babu) was not my father's rival, so why did they (the killer) hold a meeting in Bhanga to negotiate and exchange money for photos that proved my father's death? There is a third party involved in this murder, and one of them is Gas Babu.”
“I demand justice for my father's brutal and heinous murder. Let those responsible be brought swiftly to justice and be given exemplary punishment,” Dorin demanded.
DMP: No political pressure in MP Anar’s murder investigation“I did not suspect anyone; I did not name anyone involved in the murder. Law enforcement has carried out an investigation and arrested the murderers. In suspicion of involvement in my father's brutal and heinous murder, they arrested Saidul Karim Mintu, general secretary of Jhenaidah Awami League. I did not name anyone. Then why it is now being said that they are being framed,” she asked.
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.
