As per the desire of Hussain and due to the recent surge of Covid-19, the family members decided not to take his body anywhere, including Shaheed Minar.
Earlier, his body was taken to his residence located at 24/4 Qazi Motahar Hossain Sarak at around 9am from the mortuary of BIRDEM General Hospital.
Guerrilla-71, a liberation war based organization, paid its last tributes by placing a wreath at the coffin of Hussain.
All the funeral procedures were done on a limited scale amid the ongoing pandemic situation and following proper health rules, family sources said.

Born on July 19, 1936, in the capital, Hussain mainly wrote spy thriller, detective and adventure-based novels most of which are adaptation translations from or heavily influenced by foreign literature. Masud Rana, the popular spy-thriller series was created at the hands of Hussain.
Hussain obtained his Master's Degree in Bengali literature and language from the University of Dhaka.
In the middle of 1960, he started a paperback publishing house called Sheba Prokashoni with four writers, three of whom were his own pen-names. The publishing house is credited with publishing works of world literature, as well as original work.
