Rahman, who had recently returned from London, was diagnosed with dehydration after experiencing discomfort.

It's just that we are separated but my prayers are always with him and I want to say one thing to everyone, especially his family, that please don't stress him too much, and take care of him. Thank you, Allah Hafiz.”
