Kolkata: State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has issued lookout notices against four persons in connection with the murder case of Bangladesh Member of Parliament (MP) Anwarul Azim.
The persons against whom the look out notices were issued include the mastermind of the murder Akhtarujjaman who is a US resident. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the Bangladesh Police team again went to the New Town housing complex where the MP was murdered and his body was mutilated.
