A director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), who had been undergoing treatment for coronavirus infection at Kuwait Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital, has died followinga cardiac arrest.
He died at the hospital at 9:30am on Monday, the hospital’s administrative officer Alimuzzaman confirmed to Dhaka Tribune.
Asked on where he would be buried, the hospital official said the matter will be decided by higher officials.
