“My father fell ill due to old age complications. Recently, after treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, he was brought back to the country. He was bedridden at his residence in Old Dhaka.
On Saturday afternoon, when his condition worsened, he was taken to Asgar Ali Hospital. After being under treatment for two days, he passed away. On behalf of the family, we are asking for prayers from everyone. May Allah grant him Jannah.”
