Guwahati, May 24: Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar was murdered in Kolkata and a probe was initiated to nab the criminals. The West Bengal CID on Thursday evening detained one person for his alleged involvement in the “murder” an officer said. Police suspect that the MP could have been “lured” into a New Town flat by a woman and then murdered by contract killers.

The detained person, who is a resident of an area in West Bengal close to the international border with Bangladesh, had met one of the prime accused in the murder case, the officer further added.

Police also said that the flat in Kolkata’s New Town area, where the Bangladesh MP was last seen entering, was rented out to his friend by its owner, an excise department employee.

“Investigation indicated that the Bangladeshi parliamentarian fell into a honey trap laid by a woman who was also close to the victim’s friend. It seems, Anar was lured into the New Town flat by the woman. We suspect he was murdered soon after he went to the flat,” he said.

The CID is examining the CCTV footage which showed Anar entering the flat with a man and a woman, the officer said.
