Biography

Saleh was born in Saudi Arabia, to Bangladeshi parents who frequently relocated for work, before settling in Rochester, New York. He taught himself to program at a young age, and created a variety of online projects such as a website for his family, a teenage social platform and a prank dial service, PrankDial, which became a $10 million business after his graduation from Bentley University. When he had grown older, Saleh said that he wanted to create something that "adds legitimate value to humanity". He created his first company while still in high school. He used income from PrankDial to fund his further ventures. PrankDial was somewhat controversial because it was abused as a tool for harassment.

He went on to co-found the ride company Pathao, which was popular in Bangladesh and Nepal, in 2015. The company was valued at $100 million. In 2018, Saleh also helped found Nigerian Gokada, a Nigerian ride-hail startup for motorbike taxis, that had millions of dollars in funding and gained a lot of traction in the country. The company faced a setback after authorities in Lagos banned motorbike taxis in 2020.

Friends called Saleh the "Elon Musk of the developing world". Complex estimated his net worth to be $150 million.

Death

On July 14, 2020, Saleh's body was found decapitated and dismembered in his luxury apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Police have said that he was killed the day before.

Earlier that night, neighbors heard yelling from Saleh's unit and contacted his sister. After her attempts to contact him failed, she visited his condo on July 14 and found a grisly scene. She called police, who found Saleh's torso next to an electric saw, and his head and limbs in garbage bags elsewhere in the apartment. An autopsy report from the Chief Medical Examiner concluded that Saleh died from multiple stab wounds. Detectives have classified this case as a homicide. A police source told The New York Times that Saleh was followed by a man dressed in black into the key-secured elevator that led to his apartment on the seventh floor. Security footage depicted Saleh struggling out of the elevator and onto his apartment floor. Detectives suspect that the killer fled the scene through the backdoor after Saleh's sister arrived looking for him, according to another police source.

On July 17, 2020, Saleh's personal assistant, Tyrese Devon Haspil, was arrested and is expected to be charged with the murder.
