Three-time Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim had come to Kolkata on May 13 for medical treatment. He first went to meet a friend, gold trader Gopal Biswas, at his home in Baranagar. After that, he moved to an apartment in Newtown, which he had rented. He subsequently went missing from there.

I want justice for my father’s murder.” She added, “I have met with the head of the investigative branch of Dhaka police and requested them to find out who killed my father and why.”
