MP Azim murder: Main associate of Shimul Bhuiyan arrested

In a major breakthrough in the MP Anwarul Azim Anar murder case, the Detective Branch of police arrested Saiful Alam alias Saiful Member, a close associate of prime suspect Shimul Bhuiyan, from Jashore last night. Saiful, a former leader of the Purba Bangla Communist Party, was the prime accused in the murder of Prof Uday Sangkar and wanted in two other murder cases. He was arrested with 960 grams of explosives and is believed to have links to MP Azim’s murder as he was in India during that time, along with Shimul Bhuiyan.
