Steve was diagnosed with a lung disease, years earlier, and was on the transplant list, although he deteriorated prior to a suitable lung being found.

Steve was a good hearted and very funny bastard when I worked with him at Fairfield Police Station.

In his early days, at Fairfield, we were on Night Shift driving around the CBD when we were given the details of a vehicle which had recently been stolen in the area.

We were in a Holden sedan with a single roof bar which only had a blue revolving light in the centre and the old pull / push button ‘Were’ siren ( manually pulling and pushing the toggle switch produced the siren sound as the mechanic component spun around ).

A short time later we driving towards the Horsley Dve when we spotted the stolen vehicle turn in front of us with ‘4 heads on board’.

In those days we only had 4 working police radio channels and all Warrant and Vehicle enquiries were made on the ‘back channel’. Steve went to the ‘back channel’ and did a transport check ( just to confirm we had the correct vehicle – which we did ).

He sat there dumb founded ( this was his first stolen car ). I told him that he had better go back to the ‘working’ channel and tell VKG – which he did.

I wasn’t in a hurry to stop the stolen vehicle and it wasn’t being driven in an unusual manner. We followed it out to Smithfield whilst awaiting other Police vehicles to come to the area.

It was now time to make the Stop. The stolen vehicle casually approached a Stop sign and complied with it. I then drove up alongside the drivers door to indicate to the driver to pull over. At this time, Steve leant out of the passenger door of the Police car, with his small rubber baton in hand and attempted to hit the driver as he commenced to drive off. One of the funniest bloody things I have ever seen.

We pursued the stolen vehicle down into the Merrylands patrol where the offenders abandoned the vehicle alongside of the old Wool Shed and decamped on foot.

The offenders were run to ground ( we were hell of a lot fitter back in those days ), arrested and taken to Fairfield Police Station where they were charged.

There were no formal eulogies for Constable Tanzeel Bashir but everyone who gathered for his funeral on Tuesday knew what the community had lost.

Constable Bashir, who took his own life last weekend, was farewelled with Islamic rites at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney‘s south-west in a service attended by family, friends and colleagues.

The 23-year-old was remembered as a loving son and brother and widely respected police officer.

Constable Berkay Tustas graduated from the New South Wales Police Academy with Constable Bashir in 2019 and could not fathom his friend was gone.

‘He wouldn’t hurt a fly,’ Constable Tustas said outside the mosque. ‘But he hurt himself.’

Constable Bashir, 23, was found dead in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, about 12.40am on Saturday.

Police had commenced a search about 10.30pm on Friday after concerns were raised for the off-duty Bankstown Police Area Command officer’s welfare.

Constable Charlene Challita was among those hardest hit by her colleague’s death. ‘He was my best mate,’ she said after the service.

One friend who preferred not to be named said he had grown up with Constable Bashir in the Belmore-Lakemba area and had last seen him three weeks ago.

‘I’m simply shocked,’ he said. ‘We never saw it coming.

‘He was kind-hearted, down-to-earth and just a charming personality.’

Canterbury Bankstown deputy mayor Bilal El-Hayek said the local community was mourning a fine young policeman and his family was trying to understand why he was gone.

‘He was a loving son and brother and proud officer, gone too soon,’ Mr El-Hayek said.

‘It’s a timely reminder of the human face of the men and women who serve our community.’

Cousin Momin Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start. ‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.’

The 23-year-old was remembered as widely respected police officer by shattered colleagues.

Constable Tustas, who was rostered on duty, waited outside while prayers were said for his dead friend. He was inconsolable but workmates tried to offer comfort.

‘I had to make my way here,’ he said. ‘I came to pay my respects to him because I owe him that much.

‘Tanzeel had the purest heart of all. Purer than crystal. There’s no words. I can’t register anything. I just can’t believe it.’

Constable Tustas spoke of a young man who loved his cricket, football and animals – often sending him unsolicited pictures of his cats.

‘The way Tanzeel was if you needed anything done at the academy or in general he wouldn’t even ask why,’ he’d just do it,’ Constable Tustas said. ‘He was always there for me.’

‘I feel so sorry for the family. If I’m feeling like this, how do they cope? May he rest in peace. I loved the kid.’

Momin Ali said the suicide of a friend’s girlfriend several years ago had been part of the reason his cousin had chosen to join the police force.

‘He just felt he wanted to help people,’ Mr Ali said. ‘To reassure people that there is help out there for those who need it. It was his dream to help people.’

Mr Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start.

‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.

‘He never hurt anyone. All he wanted to do was to put smiles on people’s faces. It was just the type of person he was.’

As for what had driven his cousin to despair, Mr Ali had no idea.

‘I guess everyone goes through their own battles,’ he said. ‘He seemed really happy.

‘He’d seen some things but every time when I asked him how he was going he’d say “I love the job”.’

One of Constable Bashir’s relatives had appealed on Facebook for family and friends to attend his funeral and hundreds came to the service.

‘It is with a heavy heart I announce our beloved Tanzeel Iftikhar Bashir, 23 years old, a loving son, brother and friend has returned to his Lord,’ the relative wrote.

‘Please spread the word so that we can have as many people attend my cousin’s janazah as possible.’

Loved ones used social media to remember Constable Bashir, who had two younger sisters, as a ‘loving son, brother and friend’.

‘Rest in peace to an absolute legend,’ one said. Others remembered a ‘fun guy’ and ‘great man’.

A funeral notice asked Allah to bestow comfort upon Constable Bashir’s family and loved ones.

‘O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and grant him peace and pardon him,’ the notice stated.

‘Receive him with honour and make his place of entry spacious. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’

Constable Tustas was one of four constables and a dozen commissioned officers to form a guard of honour as his friend’s casket was carried back down the mosque’s steps to a waiting hearse.

Three police motorcyclists led the 45km cortege to Narellan Cemetery for the burial.

As the hearse passed Constable Tustas he stood alone on the road and raised one last salute.

Further prayers were held at the cemetery where scores of uniformed police who had not been at the mosque paid their last respects.

A line of mourners formed to greet Constable Bashir’s father Iftikhar and Mr Ali and pay their condolences with hugs and handshakes.

Support services have been offered to Constable Bashir’s family, colleagues and the entire NSW Police force.

Constable Charlene Challita (centre) was among those hardest hit by her colleague’s death. ‘He was my best mate,’ she said

A critical incident investigation was launched by detectives from the Homicide Squad who will prepare a report for the Coroner.

The investigation will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command with independent oversight by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC).

Last month police gathered to farewell Detective Sergeant Adam Child, a 46-year-old father-of-two and long-serving member of the Homicide Squad.

Detective Sergeant Child was found dead from a gunshot wound at Ermington police station on August 1. He was remembered as ‘one of the finest humans and detectives.

A bus driver is fighting for life after a crash involving a semi-trailer in Wetherill Park in Sydney’s west overnight.

The 74-year-old man was pinned beneath the dashboard of the bus for more than an hour as emergency workers tried to free him.

The semi-trailer’s driver, Iqbal Singh, is accused of running a red light at the intersection of Davis Road and the Parramatta-Liverpool T-way.

Firefighters took hours to free the trapped man, using tools to cut, spread and ram away parts of the bus.

He was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.

Four passengers on the bus were also taken to hospital.

The 74-year-old man was pinned beneath the dashboard of the bus for more than an hour as emergency workers tried to free him at Wetherill Park. (Nine)

His injuries to his lower body are so extensive, paramedics had to put him in an induced coma.

“The dashboard had come down onto his lower limbs, which is a significant amount of force,” NSW Ambulance Inspector Joe Ibrahim said.

The licence of the truck driver has now been suspended and the 26-year-old charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm.
