International Cooperation in Pursuit of Justice
Minister Khan emphasized that Shahin is a key figure in the investigation and is currently wanted by authorities. The Bangladeshi government has sought assistance from Indian, Nepalese, and American agencies, including Interpol, to ensure that Shahin faces justice for his alleged involvement in the murder. Three individuals, including a woman with a criminal background, have already been apprehended in connection with the case.
Motive Behind the Murder
While the motive behind the parliamentarian’s murder remains unclear, Minister Khan assured that details would be disclosed in due course. Attempts to reach Shahin in the US have been futile, prompting his brother, Md Shahiduzzaman, to call for strict action if Shahin is found guilty. Shahiduzzaman expressed disbelief at his brother’s alleged involvement in the crime, stating that he had spoken to Shahin recently and believed he was in the US.
Extradition Plans and International Jurisdiction
Authorities in West Bengal have highlighted the lack of an extradition treaty between Bangladesh and the US, but noted that India has such an agreement in place. Plans are being made to extradite Shahin to India, as the crime took place within the state’s jurisdiction. Shahin, a US citizen, is believed to be residing in New York City.

Anar, a respected three-time parliamentarian from Jhenaidah-4, disappeared while undergoing treatment in West Bengal. Investigators reveal that Shahin, allegedly aided by Bangladeshi model Celesty Rahman, lured Anar to a residential complex in Kolkata where he was subsequently murdered.
