70-Year-Old Inmate Dies in Custody After Battle With Lung Cancer and Chronic Illnesses
A 70-year-old inmate, Abdur Rahman Mia, has died at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH). The resident of Uttar Agrabad in Chattogram passed away on Saturday after a long battle with multiple serious illnesses, including health issues like lung cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Chattogram Central Jail superintendent Syed Shah Sharif confirmed the death. Mia had been in custody since his arrest on November 17, 2025.
Mia was first taken to CMCH on December 24, 2025, as his health condition worsened. Doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer that had spread to his brain, along with other health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and COPD.
After nearly a month of treatment, he was discharged on January 18, 2026, and returned to Chattogram Central Jail. However, following medical advice, he was readmitted to CMCH on January 26, 2026. His health condition continued to decline until his death.
The official cause of death was listed as carcinoma of the lung with brain metastasis, compounded by his other health issues. Mia had been held at the jail since his arrest in mid-November 2025.
In 2024, Chattogram Central Jail recorded 47 inmate deaths. The leading causes included tuberculosis, pneumonia, and complications from long-term health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.
Mia's death follows a pattern of inmate fatalities linked to severe pre-existing health issues. His case adds to the jail's record of 47 deaths in 2024, most of which involved chronic health problems. Authorities have not announced any further investigation into his passing.
