The Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Branch chief, Harun-or-Rashid, claimed on Saturday that detectives found two more suspects directly involved in murder of ruling Awami League lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata of India.Â
‘We were able to arrest seven people in Bangladesh in connection with the incident. Names of two more people have come up in the investigation,’ Harun told reporters at DB office on the capital’s Minto Road on Saturday.
Asked when Anwarul’s daughter Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin would go to India for a DNA test, Harun said that it depended on the Indian investigators looking into the matter.
‘The Criminal Investigation Department in Kolkata is investigating the murder case. I am sure they have called Dorin and she will soon go to Kolkata for the further process,’ added the DB chief.
Anwar’s private secretary Abdur Rauf Rauf told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ·, ‘The Kolkata CID on Thursday asked the lawmaker’s daughter Dorin to go to Kolkata for DNA tests. We have replied with a confirmation.’
She will go to India this week and a DB team is likely to accompany her, he added.
