The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has recovered the motorcycle at the centre of the investigation into the death of former Bangladesh Air Force Flight Lt KM Tahsif Shouri.

The motorcycle was recovered during a drive on Thursday night but was brought to the scene on Friday for media inspection.

PBI Inspector Syed Sajidur Rahman of Dhaka Metropolitan North said the motorcycle was recovered based on information provided by Dip, friend of Tahsif Souri.

Briefing reporters after visiting Honda Road area of Haji Mazar slum, Additional Deputy Inspector General of PBI Dhaka Metropolitan North Md Enayet Hossain Mannan said documents would be examined to establish whether the recovered motorcycle belonged to Tahsif Souri.

Asked about the claim that the individuals had jumped into a river while fleeing police pursuit, he said Dip had told investigators that two people wearing police uniforms chased them, prompting them they run away.

“We will verify who they were and whether they were actually police officers or anyone on duty,” he said.

Mannan also said Dip had provided various information, but investigators were not accepting all of them as credible without verification.

“We are examining every piece of information,” he added.

He said the Naval Police were currently investigating the case, while the Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch (DB) and SRB were also conducting separate investigations.

The PBI will take over the investigation at a later stage, he added.
