Tahsif’s friend Disha placed on 4-day remand

A Dhaka court on Sunday placed Jarika Tasnim Disha (19) on a four-day remand in a murder case over the death of her friend, former Bangladesh Air Force officer KM Tahsif Souri.

Additional Public Prosecutor Muhammad Shamsud Doha Sumon said Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ripon Hossain passed the order after police sought a seven-day remand.

Disha was arrested from her Kafrul residence around 2:00 am on Sunday.

According to the police, Uttara CCTV footage from the night of 27 October showed Disha accompanying Tahsif to Nest Bar and Restaurant, CP Five Star Snacks several times and a motorcycle garage. Tahsif's call records also revealed multiple phone conversations between them.

Police said Disha's statements must be cross-checked with Tahsif's junior friend Ahmed Shahriar Reza Dwip (23). Preliminary findings indicate Dwip's involvement in the murder.

Police Bureau of Investigation took Dwip into custody from Mohammadpur on Thursday night. He was placed on a four-day remand on Saturday after investigators said he called Tahsif out around 6:00 am on 27 October.

Incidentally, police recovered Tahsif's floating body from the Turag River near Uttarkhan's Rajabari Ghat on 28 October. Later, Tahsif's father KM Eneyetul Karim filed a murder case against unknown persons with Uttarkhan Police Station.
