Noted singer Kakoli Dewan passed away yesterday night in Dhaka. The artiste was admitted to Mugda Medical College and Hospital. She was suffering from chronic kidney complications for some time, and had also tested positive for Covid-19 in the last days of March this year, according to her son, beatboxer Moktadir Dewan. Kakoli Dewan started her career with stage performances, and became a regular radio singer at Bangladesh Betar from Chattogram, in the early 80s. She initially received treatment under Nephrologist Dr Arup Ratan Dutta in India, and was doing fine until we had to start her dialysis from this February, as there was a significant rise in her creatinine levels. Her diabetes and blood pressure problems only added to the complications, Moktadir Dewan adds.
