Jhenaidah District Awami League General Secretary Saidul Karim Mintu has been granted 8-day remand by the court in Kolkata, India in the case of abduction with intent to kill Jhenaidah-4 Constituency Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim Anar.

On Thursday (June 13), police sent him in the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka. After that, DB Police Senior Assistant Commissioner Mahfuzur Rahman applied to remand him for 10 days for proper investigation of the case. However, after the hearing, Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain granted his 8-day remand.

Earlier on Tuesday (June 11) afternoon, DB Police detained him from Dhanmondi for questioning. He was arrested in this case as his involvement in the murder of the parliament member was found during the interrogation.

On May 12, MP Anwarul Azim Anar went to West Bengal, India. He met his family friend Gopal Biswas in Kolkata around 7pm that day.

The next day, May 13, Anar left Gopal's house at 1:41 PM saying that he had to see a doctor. He also said that he will return in the evening. Later he boarded a taxi in front of Calcutta Public School near Bidhan Park. After the evening, Anar's mobile number received a message from his friend Gopal saying that he was going to Delhi and would call him when he reached there.

Later on May 15, in a WhatsApp message, MP informed Anar's friend Gopal that he had reached Delhi and was with VIPs. No need to call him. He also sent the same message to his personal assistant in Bangladesh, Rauf.

On May 17, Anar's family, unable to contact him, called Gopal. At that time they told Gopal that they could not contact him. On that day, the family lodged a complaint with the police station in Dhaka. Since then MP Anar has not been found.

Indian authorities tracked MP Anar's mobile location on May 20. They came to know that after leaving a friend's house in Kolkata, the location of his mobile was once found in Newmarket area there. Then on May 17, his phone was working for a while in Bihar.

On May 22, India's NDTV reported that MP Anar was murdered in a flat in Sanjeeva Gardens, New Town, Kolkata.
