Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud on Thursday said Bangladesh and India are working together to unearth the mystery behind the murder of Jhenaidah-4 MP Anwarul Azim Anar, who was murdered in Kolkata, India.

“Our mission in Kolkata is in regular contact with Kolkata Police on the whole matter. As the matter is under investigation, it is not appropriate to talk more about it,” he told reporters while responding to a question.

Earlier, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said the body of Anwarul has not yet been recovered.

“We have not been able to recover the body yet. Until we can recover everything, we cannot provide you with any information. I reiterate that the intelligence agencies of both countries are working on this,” said the minister.

The intelligence agencies of both countries have almost identified everything of the murder including the perpetrators, he said while talking to the reporters at the secretariat on Thursday afternoon.

Anwarul has been missing since at least May 14, having gone on a medical trip to India on May 11.

He maintained contact with his family members until May 14. Since then, he remained untraced.
