Member of Parliament of Jhenaidah-4 Constituency Anwarul Azim Anar has been a victim of pre-planned murder in Kolkata's New Town, India.

Many who participated in the assassination process did not know the planners or those who participated in the assassination. After the murder of Anwarul Azim, the police call it the 'cutout' method of cutting him into pieces.

Detective police officials believe that the body of the parliamentarian may have been taken to a forest and burnt so that it would not be found. Apart from this, doubts have arisen regarding the discovery of various parts of the body, which were thrown in several places.

Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim went to Kolkata for treatment on May 12. He went missing on May 13. This three-time Member of Parliament was killed on the same day. Several organizations in India and Bangladesh are investigating the murder of the parliamentarian.

It is known that "cutout" method was used in killing Anwarul Azim. Multiple teams are working on the murders and missing bodies. Many who participated in the entire process did not know the planners or those who participated in the assassination. This information is known by talking to the officials related to the investigation of DB of DMP.

On Thursday (May 23) in the afternoon, Additional Commissioner of DB Mohammad Haroon Or Rashid said that parliamentarian Anar was killed in a two-three month plan.

The mastermind of this murder is his childhood friend and business partner Aktaruzzaman Shaheen.

The killing was done by Purbo Bangla Communist Party leader Aman Ullah Aman alias Shimul. Shimul is his real name. He took the name 'Aman Ullah Aman' after going to Kolkata. There are many cases against him including murder in different police stations of the country.

After the murder, the killers Aman, Siam and Zahid put the body parts of the MP in a briefcase and took them in a car. Then Siam and Zahid left with the body.

Haroon also said that they put spices to throw away the meats of the parliamentarians. This is because if someone arrests or interrogates them, they can say that it is store-bought marinated meat. The meats rubbed with turmeric and spices are thrown away. The main reason for this is that no one ever finds any trace of the body of the Member of Parliament. After the murder, everyone returned to the country one by one after missing the body.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, some people become greedy. The greed for money increases so much that he has to part with the country while leaving the country and keeping it abroad. What is the profit of making that money?

The prime minister said this to a reporter's question about the country's banking sector at a press conference on her visit to India at Ganabhaban on Tuesday (June 25) at 11 am.

Sheikh Hasina said, many people think that making money is like an addiction. This is real. However, I will say that we are taking measures to solve the problems that exist. We have also made laws for that.

The head of government said that during the Awami League government, we have opened the most private sectors. Yes, some are doing well; some are doing badly in the banking sector. At times many cannot run properly. This is the traditional rule. If a bank becomes weak, it is co-opted or merged with another bank. In other words, it is the responsibility of the state to protect those who deposit there. That is what is being tried.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited New Delhi on June 21 on a two-day state visit at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This is the first bilateral visit by a head of government to India after the BJP-led coalition formed the government for the third consecutive term in the Lok Sabha elections.

Also, the visit was Sheikh Hasina's second visit to the Indian capital in less than 15 days, as she was among the dignitaries invited to Modi's swearing-in ceremony on June 9.

During the Prime Minister's visit, Dhaka and New Delhi signed 10 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), including seven new and three renewals, to further strengthen the growing relationship between the two neighboring countries.
