Times Now has accessed the CCTV footage of two contract killers who were hired to "murder" Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar. Police suspect that Azim was "lured" into a Kolkata flat by a woman and then murdered by contract killers.

The footage shows the two men exiting from the flat and standing near the lift with a large suitcase. Another footage shows the contract killers re-entering the house with the suitcase.

The Bangladesh MP was deskinned, his bones were cut into small pieces and the corpse was then packed and disposed of to destroy the identity, sources have told Times Now.

The butcher was 'specially' brought from Mumbai for the "assignment". He has been arrested by the West Bengal CID on Thursday evening.

According to authorities, he was brought to Kolkata two months before the Azim's murder. 

He confessed that he acted on the orders of Akhtaruzzaman, a US Citizen of Bangladeshi origin. He has been named as the mastermind of the murder.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that he had paid around ₹5 crore to execute the crime.

The flat in Kolkata's New Town area, where the Bangladesh MP was last seen entering, was rented out to his friend by its owner, an excise department employee.

Anwarul Anar, a Member of Parliament (MP) from Bangladesh's ruling party Awami League, went missing in Kolkata on May 13. 

Later, his body was discovered in Kolkata under mysterious circumstances on May 22.

The state CID, which is investigating the case, has found blood stains inside the New Town flat and also recovered several plastic bags, which they believe were used to dump the body parts.

Circumstantial evidence indicates that the MP was first strangulated and then his body was cut into several pieces, police claimed.

The search for the missing MP began after his friend Gopal Biswas, a resident of Baranagar in north Kolkata, filed a missing complaint with the local police on May 18.

Anar had stayed at Biswas's house upon arrival.

In his complaint, Biswas stated that Anar went incommunicado after he left his residence for a doctor's appointment in the afternoon of May 13.
