Speaking to the media about Tamim’s condition, BCB’s chief physician, Debashis Chowdhury, said, “Tamim’s health has significantly improved so far. However, as per protocol, he will remain under observation for 24 hours. The hospital authorities are providing the best care.”
In its statement, BCB mentioned that Tamim had received prompt and emergency medical attention and remains under doctors’ observation. The board, along with its chief medical advisor’s office, is closely monitoring his condition.

Both BCB and Tamim’s family have asked for prayers for his swift recovery.
Tamim’s sudden illness has also deeply affected the entertainment industry. Many celebrities have expressed their concerns on social media, with everyone sharing the same wish—for Tamim to recover quickly.
