Qazi Anwar Hossain, noted writer and founder of ‘Sheba Prokashoni’, was laid to eternal rest with due respect in city's Banani graveyard on Thursday.

The eminent writer was buried at the grave of his mother Sajeda Khatun around 3 pm.

As per the desire of Hossain and due to the recent surge of the COVID-19 infection, the family members decided not to take his body anywhere, including Shaheed Minar.

Earlier, his body was taken to his resident located at 24/4 Qazi Motahar Hossain Sarak at 9.15 am from the mortuary of BIRDEM Hospital of the city.

Guerrilla-71, a liberation war based organization, paid its last tributes by placing wreath at the coffin of Hossain.

All the funeral procedures were done in a limited scale amid the ongoing pandemic situation and following proper health rules, family sources said.

Qazi Anwar Hossain was diagnosed with prostate cancer on 31 October 2021.

On 10 January 2022, he was placed on life support, before suffering a stroke and a heart attack.

He breathed his last while undergoing treatment at BIRDEM Hospital on Wednesday at the age of 85.

Born on July 19, 1936, in the capital, Hossain mainly wrote spy thriller, detective and adventure based novels most of which are adaptation translation from or heavily influenced by foreign literature.

"Masud Rana", the popular spy-thriller series was created at the hands of Hossain.
