   The body of a decapitated, dismembered tech CEO was found inside   
   a Lower East Side apartment on Tuesday afternoon — sorted in   
   plastic bags right next to a power saw, sources told The Post.   
      
   Police came upon the grisly scene shortly after 3:30 p.m., after   
   a cousin of the dead man requested a welfare check at the man’s   
   E. Houston Street building and called police, the sources said.   
      
   An electric saw was found near the body, which was described as   
   a 33-year-old man. The victim’s arms and legs below the knees   
   were removed, and body parts were found in plastic bags found in   
   the apartment, the sources said.   
      
   Police sources believe the victim to be Fahim Saleh, a venture   
   capitalist and the CEO of the Nigeria-based motorbike startup   
   Gokada.   
      
   Saleh is listed as the owner of the apartment, which he   
   purchased last year for $2.25 million, records show.   
      
   “This is ugly,” one cop at the scene said.   
      
   Sources described the killing as an apparent targeted murder.   
      
   The victim was last seen on surveillance footage Monday   
   afternoon around 1:40 p.m., when he entered his building’s   
   elevator, which opens right out to his seventh-floor apartment,   
   sources said.   
      
   The footage from the apartment building appears to show the   
   suspected killer carrying a bag, waiting to enter the elevator   
   with the victim, sources said.   
      
   The victim gives the suspect a puzzled look during an exchange   
   as they ride up together. As soon as the victim steps out into   
   his apartment, the suspect can be seen attacking him, according   
   to sources.   
      
   One law enforcement source said the crime scene looked like a   
   “professional” killing because almost no blood was left behind   
   and the apartment was not looted.   
      
   While another source added that it appeared that the killer had   
   been “interrupted.”   
      
   “It didn’t look like the perp was done,” the source said.   
      
   Investigators believe the victim to be Saleh, but they’re   
   waiting for the Medical Examiner to confirm his identity.   
      
   Police were later seen questioning a sobbing woman — who sources   
   identified as the victim’s cousin — in the lobby of the building.   
      
   The victim’s cousin found his torso exposed in the living room   
   alongside the construction bags and saw when she went to check   
   on him Tuesday after not hearing from him, according to sources.   
      
   “She was really upset. Crying. Shaking,” local resident Danny   
   Faust said. “She was just sitting there but you can tell her   
   legs were shaking. She’s nervous. She was crying like, you know,   
   wiping her eyes.”   
      
   “She was screaming when she first came down,” said Faust, 40.   
      
   He said he went over to the building after seeing police   
   converge on the scene.   
      
   “Dead body? Okay,” he said. “But when you hear chopped up and   
   dismembered? That’s it. That’s a sick type of mind for somebody   
   to do that.”   
      
   Saleh was a Bangladeshi-American who founded and invested in   
   several transportation-related start-ups, according to his   
   LinkedIn page.   
      
   In 2015, he co-founded Pathao, a ride-hailing company in his   
   parents’ home country of Bangladesh.   
      
   Roughly two years later, in December 2017, he co-founded Gokada,   
   an on-demand, motorbike-hailing company in Lagos, Nigeria, and   
   took over as its CEO in April of last year. He most recently   
   oversaw the company’s transition to delivery service during the   
   coronavirus pandemic.   
      
   He also launched the venture capital firm Adventure Capital in   
   New York back in 2018.   
      
   “We used to call him the Elon Musk of the developing world. He   
   was like the Energizer bunny,” a longtime friend told The Post.   
      
   “His best friend in Dubai called me just sobbing on the phone,   
   ‘They took my boy; they took my boy!’ He played ukelele…he was   
   so full of ideas,” the friend added.   
      
   Residents said the crime was particularly unsettling because it   
   took place in what is typically a quiet neighborhood.   
      
   “It’s shocking. It’s gruesome,” resident Jason Rivera, 45, told   
   The Post. “What could possibly be going through someone’s mind   
   to decapitate him? Pure evilness.”   
      
   No further details were immediately available.
