Dhaka: US-Bangla plane crash survivor Kabir Hossain, who is undergoing treatment at the burnt unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), has been kept on life support since early Saturday.

‘One of the US-Bangla plane crash survivors has been kept on life support since Friday midnight,’ said sub-inspector Bachchu Miah, in charge of DMCH police outpost.
