Anjan Bandyopadhyay dies of COVID-19

Popular TV anchor Anjan Bandyopadhyay, editor of Bengali news channel Zee 24 Ghanta, died at a private hospital in Kolkata on Sunday night, as per reports in Zee News India. Anjan had tested positive for Covid-19 around a month ago. He was 56. He breathed his last at around 9.25 pm.

An official of the hospital was quoted saying, “He had returned home after recovering a bit but was again taken to the hospital after his condition deteriorated. He was put on a ventilator and then on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support, but his condition continued to deteriorate.”

Anjan was with ETV Bangla, 24 Ghanta, and then with Anandabazar Patrika’s digital unit before moving to TV9 Bangla as the channel’s first Editor. He returned to Zee 24 Ghanta as its editor just before this year’s assembly elections in West Bengal.
