New York police on Friday arrested the personal assistant of Fahim Saleh, a tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Bangladeshi ride-sharing app Pathao, who was brutally murdered in his own apartment in Manhattan three days back. 

The motive behind the murder of young entrepreneur Fahim Saleh, who co-founded Pathao and Gokada, appear to be financial in nature, a senior NYPD official told WBBH on Wednesday.

Fahim Saleh had a knack for coding and developing apps from his early years. Born to Bangladeshi parents in Saudi Arabia, the 33-year-old created his first company while still in high school.

Fahim Saleh, tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Bangladesh ride-sharing app Pathao, was found dead at his apartment in New York on Tuesday.
