Death

Salman Shah died 6 September 1996.[18] He was found hanging from the ceiling of his bedroom at Eskaton, Dhaka.[19] Police had filed a case of suicide, but the family objected to it and lodged a murder case.[6] Business tycoon Aziz Mohammad Bhai was alleged to be involved in the murder.[7] One Rezvi Ahmed was arrested from the house of Shah's mother, who reportedly named Bhai and Shah's wife Samira of ordering the hit.[20] Rezvi later disowned his confession.[7]

On 24 February 2020, Police Bureau of Investigation have completed their investigation and reported that Salman Shah killed himself due to family dispute over his affair with one of the most popular silver screen actresses at the time, actress Shabnur.[21]
