A Dhaka court on Thursday fixed 8 August as the next day for submitting the investigation report in the case of murder and abduction of ruling party's lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar.

As the DB Police couldn't submit the report Thursday, Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque fixed the new date.

Anwarul, a three-time MP and also president of Kaliganj upazila unit Awami League in Jheindah, went to India on 12 May on a personal visit to receive treatment. He went missing on 13 May after going out of his residence in Kolkata's Borah Nagar area.

According to Kolkata police sources, Anwarul was taken to a flat in New Town in Kolkata, where he is believed to have been strangled to death before his body was cut into pieces and dumped at different areas. Traces of his body or body parts are yet to be found.

The victim's daughter Mumtarin Ferdous Dorin filed the case on 22 May with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
