His daughter Khairunnahar, known as Suchi, said he had been suffering from age-related ailments and was undergoing treatment after being admitted to a hospital on October 31.
Akhunji and his fellow activists built the country's first Shaheed Minar at Rajshahi College, overcoming police obstruction.
