A Dhaka court on Friday placed three accused in a case lodged over the murder of Awami League lawmaker of Jenaidah-4 Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata, India, on five days of fresh remand each.
The three accused are Tanvir Bhuiyan, Shimul Bhuiyan and Silisti Rahman.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shanto Islam Mallik passed the order as police produced the trio before the court after end of their eight-day remand in the case and pleaded to place them on eight-day remand afresh.
On May 24, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dilruba Afroz Tithi placed them on eight-day remand.
The victim's daughter Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin filed the case on May 22 with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police station.
The Jhenaidah-4 MP crossed the Darshana-Gede border into India for treatment on May 12. He stayed at his friend Gopal Biswas’s home in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.
The following day, he left to see a doctor at noon and was expected to return in the evening. However, a WhatsApp message from his phone to Biswas stated that he went to Delhi instead and would call if necessary.
Since then, he could not be reached by phone. Eventually, the government confirmed his death on May 22, citing Indian police.
