Parliamentarian Anwarul Azim was planned to be murdered in a car in Kolkata in January this year. The killers thought of killing him on January 18 and dumping him in Kolkata’s waste canal. But Anwarul did not go to Calcutta that day and went on January 19, that plan failed. For this, Aktaruzzaman alias Shaheen called him to Kolkata for business talks in May.
Anwarul Azim was killed in Kolkata on May 13. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has got a picture of the murder of the parliament member by analyzing the data found in the investigation including the interrogation of the accused arrested in the two countries, information obtained from the Kolkata Police, travel records, digital evidence. A summary in this regard has been conveyed to the higher authorities of the police on behalf of the investigators. It is said that Aktaruzzaman alias Shaheen is a friend of the member of parliament Anwarul. Both are reputed to have gold businesses in Calcutta. There was conflict and anger between the two regarding the money transactions of the business they were doing.
Sources related to the investigation say thatAktaruzzaman and Shimul Bhuiyan planned to kill Anwarul in his constituency (Kaliganj in Jhenaidah) before the 12th national election. For this, Aktaruzzaman appointed a person named Badal to monitor Anwarul Azim. But the plan was later withdrawn from the thought that a member of parliament from the ruling party cannot be found guilty of murder inside the country. Later he took Anwarul to Kolkata and planned to kill him. Aktaruzzaman thought that if he was killed in Kolkata, everyone would assume that Anwarul was killed by his business associates there. For this, on January 18, a murder was planned in a car in Kolkata. Their table was that Aktaruzzaman would drive the car, Anwarul would sit next to him in the front seat. Shimul Bhuiyan, Siam Hossain and Jihad Howladar will be behind the car. After the murder in the car, the body will be dumped in the garbage.
As planned, Aktaruzzaman and Shimul Bhuiyan went to Kolkata on January 18. However, Member of Parliament Anwarul did not go that day, he went the next day. As a result, unable to implement the plan, Shimul Bhuiyan returned to the country on January 19. Aktaruzzaman returned on January 30. And Anwarul Azim returned on January 24.
After the first attempt failed in Calcutta, the murder was planned again in May. As part of this, Aktaruzzaman rented a house in Kolkata’s Newtown on April 25. On April 30, Aktaruzzaman, Shimul Bhuiyan and Shilasti Rahman went to that flat. Aktaruzzaman called MP Anwarul to Kolkata for a business meeting. Anwarul went to Calcutta on May 12. Aktaruzzaman left Kolkata on May 10, plotting the murder of Shimul Bhuiyan. Although Anwarul knew that Aktaruzzaman was also in that flat in Kolkata.
Related sources said that according to Shimul Bhuiyan’s description during the interrogation, they went to that flat and had some discussions and had light breakfast. But suspecting something, Anwarul Azim wants to come up. Then Shimul’s associates held him to the chair and tied him. Anesthetic was applied to him and he was photographed undressed. Send that picture to Aktaruzzaman. The picture was also sent to Jhenaidah District Awami League Relief and Social Welfare Affairs Secretary Kazi Kamal Ahmed.
Investigations by Dhaka and Kolkata police also revealed that on May 12, Anwarul went to Kolkata and stayed at his old friend Gopal Biswas’s house in Mandalpara Lane, Kolkata. He left the house at 1.40 pm the next day, talking about a business meeting. 30 minutes later, Anwarul called Gopal Biswas and asked him to send 4 lakh 20 thousand rupees. But carrying so much money is risky at the time of Lok Sabha elections, Anwarul insisted even after being informed. Gopal Biswas sent his manager 4 lakh 20 thousand rupees. After giving it to Anwarul in front of Bidhanpur School and College, he got into a white car and left. But it is not yet known where that 4 lakh 20 thousand rupees went.
