Butchered, Peeled Skin And Minced: Spine-Chilling Details of Bangladeshi MP's Murder Emerge

Kolkata: In a big breakthrough, the West Bengal Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Thursday arrested one suspect in connection with the gruesome murder of Bangladeshi lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anwar, who was reported missing from Kolkata since May 13. In a shocking revelation, the suspect has confessed to the killing of the Awami League MP in a flat. According to sources, the suspect is said to have smothered Anwar along with four other Bangladeshi nationals and subsequently killed him under the orders of US citizen Akhtaruzzaman, the mastermind of the cold-blooded murder.

With the arrest of the accused, identified as Jihad Hawladar, chilling details have emerged. After Anwar was killed, his body was deskinned in the flat. Following that, all his flesh was removed and minced to fit it in a polly pack in a bid to conceal his identity. The killers, then, used different modes of transport to disperse the polly packs in different parts of Kolkata.

The accused, who is a resident of Bangladesh's Khulna, was brought to India two months back under the instruction of Akhtaruzzaman. He was an illegal immigrant, working as a butcher in Mumbai. The accused has been taken in police custody and will be produced before the Barasat court. The police are verifying his statement and trying to locate the body parts.
