The victim, identified as Sajid Chowdhury Rafi, 21, died while undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Confirming the matter, Kafrul Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sajjad Hossain told The Business Standard that Rafi succumbed to his injuries after remaining under treatment for 13 days.
He said the attempted murder case filed over the incident will now be converted into a murder case.
“The body has been kept at the DMCH morgue,” he added.
Earlier, at around 1:20am on 10 June, Rafi sustained critical injuries when he was allegedly struck by a brick thrown by known individuals over prior enmity while he was returning home along the paved road in Ibrahimpur, about 100 yards east of the Purba Shewrapara bus stand.

Law enforcement agencies have so far arrested three individuals in connection with the incident.
They are Mohammad Parvez, 30, Anwar Hossain Babu, 32, and Mohammad Faisal, alias Kalu, 27.
