Nepal Extradites One of the Prime Accused in Murder of Bangladesh MP in Kolkata: Report

In a shocking turn of events, Nepal has extradited a Bangladeshi citizen to India, who is one of the main accused in the brutal murder of Bangladeshi MP Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata last month. According to a media report, Mohammad Siyam Hussain was handed over to Indian authorities by Nepal’s Interpol branch on Monday morning after Nepal Police contacted him.

Hussain, who had fled to Nepal after the murder, was arrested from the border area of Nepal last Thursday. The 56-year-old Awami League MP Anar, who was in Kolkata for medical treatment, went missing on May 17 and was later found to have been murdered in a posh flat in the New Town area near Kolkata.

Police in West Bengal have arrested a butcher who allegedly chopped the body of the Bangladeshi lawmaker into 80 pieces and disposed of them at different locations. It is suspected that Anar’s friend and business partner, who is now a US citizen, plotted the murder.

Although Bangladesh police wanted Hussain, he was handed over to Indian authorities as he had come from India. Nepal’s Interpol organization did not inform the local police about the arrest of Hussain, and a team from Bangladesh’s Detective Branch had come to Kathmandu to pick him up but their request was disregarded as Nepal does not have an extradition treaty with Dhaka.

This extradition has raised many questions and concerns about international cooperation in criminal cases and the legal procedures involved in such extraditions.
