The 74-year-old breathed his last at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, where he had been undergoing treatment, at around 3:40pm on Monday, said Saiful Alam, the editor of the business group’s Bangla daily Jugantor.

Babul, who tested positive for the novel coronavirus on June 14, was admitted to the hospital the same day. The deadly disease had worsened his kidney functions. A 10-member medical board had been formed to oversee his treatment.

His namaz-e-janaza is scheduled to be held on the premises of Jamuna Future Park in Bashundhara residential area, Dhaka, after the Zohr prayers on Tuesday, before the burial at Banani graveyard.
