Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) standing committee member ASM Hannan Shah died in a Singapore hospital on early Tuesday.

BNP chairperson’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan said, ‘Hannan Shah died at Raffle Heart Centre at 5:05am Singapore time. His younger son Shah Reza Noor and daughter Sharmin Hannan who were with him in Singapore informed us about his demise.’

Hannan Shah was put on life support at the Combined Military Hospital in the capital on 6 September morning following his admission there.
