A court in Dhaka on Tuesday rejected the bail petition of Celesty Rahman, an accused in the murder case of lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Torikul Islam passed the order as her lawyer pleaded for her bail.
Earlier on June 10, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Tahmina Haque turned down the bail pleas of two other accused Syed Amanullah Aman alias Shimul Bhuiyan, and Faisal Ali Saji alias Tanvi Bhuiyan.
Separate courts showed Shimul, Tanvir, and Celesty arrested in the case and placed them on a total 13-day remand each on two terms. The three have already given confessional statements in the case.
The victim's daughter Mumtarin Ferdoush Dorin filed the case with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station on May 22.
Anwarul Azim Anar, a three-time MP and president of Jhenaidah's Kaliganj upazila unit Awami League, went to India on May 12 on a personal visit to receive treatment. He went missing on May 13 after leaving the flat in Kolkata's Borah Nagar area.
According to the Kolkata police sources, Anwarul was taken to a flat in New Town in Kolkata, where he was believed to be strangled to death and his body was cut into pieces.
