Bangladeshi criminals are behind the death of Awami League MP Anwarul Azim Anar, lawmaker of Jhenaidah-4, said DB chief Harun Or Rashid today.

The DB police are currently investigating to find out the possible motives behind this murder.

"It is a brutal murder. We are investigating whether family or financial causes, or enmity with local miscreants led to his death. We are working closely with the Indian police and getting plenty of information," he said while talking to journalists at the DB office in the capital.
