Kolkata witnessed the passing of former West Bengal minister and senior Trinamool Congress leader Ujjal Biswas on November 11, 2021, at a private hospital after enduring multiple health complications for three weeks. He was 72 years old and is survived by his wife and son. Biswas was admitted to Fortis Hospital in Mukundapur and had been on full ventilator support for several days.
The former minister faced health complications following a bypass surgery, which led to a brain stroke. His condition worsened due to pneumonia, urinary tract infection, septic shock, and severe kidney dysfunction requiring dialysis. Medical updates raised concerns over the possibility of multiple organ failure.
Biswas, who held the position of correctional administration minister during the TMC regime, was arrested on June 10 in connection with the alleged misappropriation of government relief materials in Nadia district's Krishnanagar. His arrest occurred hours after an angry crowd stormed his residence, threw eggs, and raised slogans against him. Police detained him for an hour before he was formally arrested and released on bail in July.
