His brother journalist Humayun Kabir Himu said that Tusher recently came to the country for a month's vacation. He was supposed to return to Lebanon last night.
In the morning, he was taken to the ICU of Mugda Medical College Hospital as he suddenly fell ill. He died at around 4:30pm while undergoing treatment.
