PTI leader Zain Qureshi accompanied Umar to the hospital, where he underwent a medical examination and tests. Doctors reported that Umar’s condition was stable and attributed his discomfort to low blood pressure, with his ECG test results appearing normal. Earlier in June, Umar had been hospitalized in Karachi due to back issues.
Umar is facing several charges, including vandalism and involvement in the cypher case related to the violence on May 9. He had resigned from his position as PTI secretary general shortly after the riots and announced his retirement from politics in November of the previous year.
