Serajul had undergone a heart surgery and heap transplant earlier, but was not comorbid, said Mushtuq, a former general secretary of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union or DUCSU. Dr Mir Jamal Uddin, a physician at the NICVD, said Serajul has breathing problems, lung infection and heart complications. A confirmed bachelor, Serajul is now living with his brothers in Dhaka’s Kalabagan after a long stay in the US, said Mushtuq. Serajul and other student leaders formed a network called ‘Nucleus’ in the early 60s to push for Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan. Soon after the creation of Bangladesh, the Awami League suffered a split and the splinter group became JaSoD under the guidance of Serajul.
