He is survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son. Family sources said Saleh suffered a stroke at his Shipaipara residence in Rajshahi city at midnight and was taken to RMCH. The hospital authority delayed over an hour in providing treatment and took him to respiratory ward instead of cardiology unit, alleged the family. Saleh was the only son of Madar Bakhs, one of the founders of Rajshahi University and an eminent politician of the early 20th century. He was laid to rest at Hatimkhan graveyard in Rajshahi city.
