Pathao co-founder Fahim Saleh’s executive assistant Tyrese Devon Haspil, who has been charged with murdering the tech entrepreneur in a Manhattan apartment on July 14, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

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. 

New York police on Thursday said they identified a “person of interest” in the murder of young tech entrepreneur Fahim Saleh but the suspect was not in custody yet.   NYPD sources declined to reveal further details about the man wanted in the still-unfolding case, reports the New York Post. Police said the crime scene made his death seem like a "professional" job.

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.
