Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque passed the order after accepting the first information report (FIR) submitted by police.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told reporters the same day that Azim was murdered at a Kolkata flat. Those involved in the killing are all Bangladeshis.

Azim was elected lawmaker in Jhenidah-4 from AL during the 2014, 2018, and 2024 elections.
