Pathao CEO Hussain Elius has express deep shock to the death of his teammate Fahim Saleh.
 
In a statement he 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." 

"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.

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.
