Investigators have yet to establish how former Bangladesh Air Force flight lieutenant KM Tahsif Souri died, as fresh evidence and conflicting accounts from a younger acquaintance raise further questions about his final hours.
Officials have found several inconsistencies in statements made by Ahmed Shahriar Reza Dwip, a younger acquaintance who called Tahsif out of his home on the night he disappeared.
Additional Inspector General of Police Mostafa Kamal said investigators received important information from the suspect.
“We have obtained several important pieces of information after taking Dwip into custody. However, we are not disclosing them at this stage in the interest of the investigation,” he said.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage from several locations near the spot where Dwip claims Tahsif jumped into the Turag River.
Questions remain over why Dwip returned home alone, how Tahsif ended up in the river, and who exactly had given chase（https://tob.news/tahsifs-turag-death-pbi-suspects-police-chase-father-alleges-cover-up/） to the two men.
The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) said it was verifying Dwip’s statements and examining whether Tahsif had been murdered.
Tahsif went missing after leaving his Uttara home on Tuesday night. River police recovered his body from the Turag near Rajabari Ghat in Uttarkhan on Wednesday afternoon.
His motorcycle was also missing.
Acting on information provided by Dwip, PBI recovered a black motorcycle without a number plate from the Mazar slum area of Tongi on Friday morning.
Although it is of the same model as the one Tahsif used, investigators have yet to establish its ownership or how it reached the area.
Initially, Dwip told the media that he and Tahsif had visited a motorcycle workshop before having dinner at a restaurant in Ruap Complex.
He claimed they had separated after dinner to attend to personal matters and that he had subsequently returned home. According to his account, they had been together until 11:30pm.
However, Dwip gave investigators a different account.

PBI Headquarters Superintendent of Police Abu Yusuf said Dwip had claimed they were talking near the river when several people chased them. According to Dwip（https://tob.news/discrepancies-emerge-in-dwips-statement-on-tahsifs-last-hours/）, Tahsif then jumped into the water while he fled.
Investigators are examining why the two were allegedly together near the river at around 2am after Dwip had earlier said they had separated near House Building at around midnight.
PBI officers took Dwip to the Mazar slum area of Tongi on Friday afternoon, where he identified the location at which Tahsif had allegedly jumped into the river.
