A Dhaka court yesterday scrapped the plea for bail by accused Silisti Rahman in a case lodged over the abduction and murder of Awami League lawmaker of Jenaidah-4 Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata, India.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Torikul Islam passed the order as counsel of Silisti pleaded for her bail.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Tahmina Haque on June 10 had turned down bail pleas of another two accused Shimul Bhuiyan and Tanvir Bhuiyan.
Earlier separate courts showed Shimul, Tanvir, and Silisti Rahman arrested in the case and placed them on a total 13-day remand each on two terms. The three have already given confessional statements in the case.
The victim’s daughter Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin filed the case on May 22 with the capital’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Anwarul, a three-time MP and also president of Kaliganj upazila unit Awami League, went to India on May 12 on a personal visit to receive treatment. He went missing on May 13 after leaving the flat in Kolkata’s Borah Nagar area.
According to the Kolkata police sources, Anwarul was taken to a flat in New Town in Kolkata, where he was believed to be strangled to death and his body was cut into pieces.
