Detectives are under no pressure after arresting Awami League leader Saidul Karim Mintu in connection with the murder of AL lawmaker of Jhenaidah-4, Anwarul Azim Anar, Chief of the Detective Branch (DB), Mohammad Harun Or Rashid, said on Sunday.
"The Home Minister directed us to investigate the case neutrally, and the DB is adhering to this directive," Harun said while speaking to reporters at the DB office on Minto Road.
He assured that no innocent individuals would be harassed or unnecessarily summoned during the investigation. "The investigating officer will conduct interrogations based on specific information through the court," added Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner Harun.
Regarding efforts to extradite the alleged mastermind, Akhteruzzaman Shaheen, currently in the USA, Harun said, "We have requested the Indian police to assist in bringing Shaheen back from the USA under their extradition treaty. Additionally, a DB team has discussed the matter with officials at the American Embassy in Dhaka."
Interpol has also been involved in the efforts to apprehend Shaheen, Harun noted. "We are working diligently to bring Shaheen back and to arrest one or two more suspects in the case. We hope to resolve the case soon."
