Investigating officers have recovered the motorcycle belonging to former Bangladesh Air Force officer KM Tahsif Souri body was found floating in the Turag River on Wednesday.
Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Chief Additional IGP Mostafa Kamal confirmed on Friday that detectives located the vehicle in the Mazar Slum area under Tongi West Police Station near the recovery site. PBI officers are aiding the River Police in verifying vehicle ownership details and analyzing forensic evidence.
PBI Dhaka Metro North detained Tahsif’s acquaintance, Ahmed Shahriar Reza Dwip, for questioning on Thursday night. Tahsif (28) had left his Uttara residence on Tuesday evening following a call from Dwip.
During initial interrogation, Dwip claimed that while he and Tahsif were talking near the riverbank an unidentified group chased them and prompting Tahsif to jump into the river while Dwip fled. PBI officials conducted overnight raids with Dwip to verify his claims and trace their movements before Tahsif went missing.
Family members noted that Tahsif sent a message to his mother at 1:35 am stating he was returning home though relatives expressed doubt regarding the authenticity of the voice message.
PBI chief Mostafa Kamal stated that investigators have gathered crucial leads from Dwip's questioning though further details are being withheld to safeguard the ongoing investigation.
