He was taken to a hospital in Gazipur where he tested positive for dengue a few days ago. Zarif underwent treatment at the Gazipur hospital before being admitted to MMCH around 5am on Saturday when his condition worsened.
"Zarif died after all his organs stopped functioning," said Dr Laxmi Narayan.
Five people have died while undergoing treatment for dengue at the hospital so far, he added.
