Suffering from liver cancer, Mollah was taken to Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok on 23 November 2003. He was later declared clinically dead and he died after his arrival in Dhaka on the way to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University.[1] His son, Bachhu Mollah, was later elected in a by-election for the vacant position of Jatiya Sangsad membership representing the Kushtia-1 constituency.[5]
