On May 15, Azim sent another WhatsApp message to Gopal informing him that he had reached Delhi and was with VIPs. He also mentioned that there was no need to call him. Azim forwarded the same message to his personal assistant, Rouf.
On June 17, after Anwarul’s family was unable to reach him, they contacted Gopal, informing him that they could not get in touch with Anwarul. The family filed a police complaint in Dhaka on the same day. Since then, the MP has been untraceable.
During the investigation, a person confessed to the police in Bangladesh that he had killed Anwarul Azim. This information was also conveyed to the police authorities in Kolkata, according to police sources
However, the dead body has not been recovered from anywhere in Newtown yet.
Further investigation is being conducted by the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate regarding the matter. Subsequently, a search operation has been launched in Kolkata to trace the three-time Awami League MP.
