Former Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun has passed away. He was 75.
He breathed his last around 7:00am on Monday while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, his son Manjurul Majid Mahmud Sadi confirmed.
Humayun had been in prison following his arrest in connection with cases of murder, attacks and vandalism during the anti-discrimination student movement in Narsingdi.
On Sunday, due to his deteriorating health, he was transferred from prison to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he died the following morning.
Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun began his parliamentary career in 1986 when he was elected as an independent candidate from Narsingdi-4 (Monohardi-Belabo). He was later elected as a Member of Parliament in 2008, 2014, 2019, and again in 2024, as a candidate of the now-banned Awami League.
He served as Industries Minister for the first time in 2019 and was reappointed to the post in 2024.
