Who was KM Tahsif Souri? Dismissed by Bangladesh Air Force post filming Sheikh Hasina's escape, mysteriously found dead
Former Bangladesh Air Force officer KM Tahsif Souri, 28, was found dead in Dhaka's Turag River days after being reported missing. His cousin alleges he was murdered over footage of Sheikh Hasina fleeing Bangladesh, but police have not established a motive or link to the video.
KM Tahsif Souri, a 28-year-old former Bangladesh Air Force officer, was reported missing on October 27. His body was found in the Turag River in Dhaka two days later. Souri's cousin, Moshfeka Jahan, claimed he was murdered due to his alleged connection to footage of Sheikh Hasina's escape from Bangladesh. Police received information about the body from the national emergency helpline, and an iPhone found in his pocket helped confirm his identity.
An inquest report found no visible external injuries but noted blood coming from his nose, eyes, and closed mouth, with his arms bent and fists clenched. Souri's death has reignited questions about his departure from the military and the allegations of harassment against him.
