Siam Hossain was taken into custody by the CID on Friday night after it was claimed that he was instrumental in getting rid of the MP's body parts. According to officials, Hossain guided the police to the location where the bones were found.
"We will proceed with DNA analysis to determine that they belong to the murdered MP if the forensic report verifies that they are human remains. Permission from the court is needed for that. "The procedure is lengthy," one officer remarked. According to CID officials, the location where the bones were found at Polerhat in North 24 Parganas, on the side of a canal, is about 15 km from the New Town apartment where the MP was killed and his body was dismembered.
"Based on the information provided by another accused, Jihad Hawaldar, who was arrested on May 23, we have been scouring this area for more than two weeks. During questioning, Hossain disclosed the precise location, according to a second officer. According to the investigation thus far, Hossain and Hawaldar disposed of the murder weapons and body parts.
