Police said all of the body parts were found at the scene, but declined to give specifics on where
Fahim Saleh, co-founder of ride-sharing venture Pathao, has been found dead in his New York apartment.
Police made the grisly discovery in a building on E. Houston St. at Suffolk St. in the Lower East side about 3:30 pm local time, reports New York Daily News.
Cops found contractor bags near the torso, sources said, but didn't immediately open them to see if the body parts were inside. An electric saw was lying next to the remains.
Fahim Saleh, 33, bought the apartment for $2.25 million last year.
NYPD spokesman Sgt. Carlos Nieves said all of the body parts were found at the scene but declined to give specifics on where.
"We have a torso, a head that's been removed, arms, and legs. Everything is still on the scene. We don't have a motive," he said.
Detectives were waiting for fingerprint and forensics tests on the body, according to police sources.
The NYPD went to the seventh-floor condo after the victim's sister called 911. She came calling Tuesday because she hadn't seen her brother in a day, then discovered his dismembered corpse, an NYPD spokesman said.
An elevator surveillance camera may have caught the victim's last moments, sources said. It shows the victim getting into the elevator Monday, followed quickly by a second man, dressed in a suit, wearing gloves, a hat and a mask over his face.
After the victim walked out onto his floor, he fell immediately, possibly shot or stunned.
"The perp had a suitcase. He was very professional," one police source said.
"We are shocked and saddened to hear the reports of the death of Fahim Saleh, one of the founding members of the Pathao team," said Pathao CEO Hussain Elius.
'Fahim believed in potential for technology to transform lives in Bangladesh'
"Fahim believed in the potential for technology to transform lives in Bangladesh and beyond. He saw the promise in us, when all we had was a common purpose and a shared vision. He was, and will forever remain, an incredible inspiration for Pathao and our entire ecosystem," he added.
Most recently, he started Gokada, a motorcycle ride-sharing company in Lagos, Nigeria, but the company faced setbacks and mass layoffs after Lagos banned companies like his in January.
Fahim Saleh, a student of Bentley University, founded several startups including Pathao, Gokada, Adventure Capital and KickBack Apps.
Pathao, founded by Fahim Saleh, Hussain Elius and Shifat Adnan, started its journey as a delivery service back in 2015 with its fleet of motorcycles and bicycles. They acted as a delivery service for several e-commerce companies of Bangladesh. Later in 2016, Pathao started bike-sharing services on mid-2016 and had successfully been operating since then till the pandemic hit the country.
