The MP, Anwarul Azim Anar, had been missing since May 14, two days after he arrived in Kolkata.
The West Bengal CID (Criminal Investigation Department) has made a significant breakthrough in the investigation after the arrest of Jihad Hawladar, an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh, who lived in Mumbai.
According to CID sources, Jihad Hawladar has confessed to his involvement in the murder and dismemberment of the Bangladesh MP’s body in an apartment in New Town, Kolkata.
Shocking details have emerged of how the crime was meticulously planned and executed.
Hawladar has reportedly disclosed that the mastermind was Akhtaruzzaman, a US citizen of Bangladeshi origin.
On Akhtaruzzaman’s orders, Hawladar, along with four other Bangladeshi nationals, smothered and killed the MP in the New Town apartment.
On Wednesday, Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said Anwarul Azim Anar had been found murdered and three people had been arrested,
The Bengal CID found bloodstains inside the New Town apartment and also recovered several plastic bags, which they believe were used to dump the body parts.
Circumstantial evidence indicates that the MP was first strangled and then his body was cut up into several pieces, police claimed.
The revelations are nothing short of chilling. Hawladar allegedly told cops that after killing Anar, the group proceeded to skin the body, remove all the flesh, and mince it to obliterate any possibility of identification. The remains were then packed into plastic bags, with the bones cut into small pieces. These packets were transported and disposed of across Kolkata, the suspect allegedly said.
