MP Azim murder: Body parts found in septic tank of Kolkata flat
Weeks after the gruesome murder of the Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar, the West Bengal CID has recovered body parts from the septic tank of the New Town flat in Kolkata today.
They suspect the body parts are of MP Azim.
The West Bengal CID has dismantled the sewerage line, septic tank, and commode of the flat, where the lawmaker was murdered, as per the request of the Bangladesh Detective Branch.
Finally, the body parts were found searching the septic tank. The law enforcers are now suspecting that the body parts belong to the slain lawmaker, said an official of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The official, requesting anonymity, told The Daily Star, "We need to verify the body parts after conducting a DNA and forensic test."
Regarding this, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told The Daily Star, "We have also heard about it."
Azim went to Kolkata on May 12 and stayed the night at his friend Gopal Biswas's house. He left the next day, saying he had a doctor's appointment. Gopal later received a couple of texts from Azim's mobile phone that said there was no need to call him. On May 22, India and Bangladesh police said the MP was murdered at a flat in New Town, Kolkata.
Earlier in the morning, DB chief Harun Or Rashid said they had requested to break the sewerage line of Sanjiba Gardens in search of the lawmaker's body.
