West Bengal police looking for Nur\\\'s landlord

West Bengal police is looking for the owner of the Kolkata flat where Nur Hossain, the prime accused in Narayanganj multiple murders, was arrested from along with his two cohorts on Saturday night. The police is also checking the background of Nur’s two accomplices who were nabbed with the main accused in Narayanganj 7-murder case at Baguihati near Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport around 11:30pm on Saturday. Nur Hossain, Obaidur Rahman and Sumon Khan were produced in a North 24 Parganas court in Barasat on Sunday. The court placed Nur Hossain on 8-day police remand for interrogation. Sumon Khan, tall and burly, tried to obstruct reporters from questioning Nur on Sunday at Barasat court. He even got into heated arguments with mediapersons essentially to let Nur be taken away by police without the media been able to really question the Narayanganj 4 councillor. ‘We are trying to investigate whether both Sumon Khan and Obaidur Rahman are Bangladesh nationals and entered India with Nur Hossain or whether they are Indian nationals providing Nur Hossain shelter and support in Kolkata,’ said a senior police official of West Bengal police. He was not willing to be named because he was not authorised to speak to media. He said the owner of flat no 503 at Indraprastha Apartments at Baguihati, not far from Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas airport, seems not to be easily available. ‘We are having to look for the flat owner. Normally, he or she would have come to police on hearing someone staying in his or her flat has been arrested, but this flat owner has not done that inspite of the media coverage of Nur’s arrest. So we have reasons to believe the flat owner is dodging police,’ the official said, according to a news agency.
