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.
