Former Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar has been shifted to a hospital on Tuesday after he experienced pain in the chest while attending a hearing in an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore.
Umar’s lawyer said his client felt chest pain in the courtroom, after which he was shifted to the hospital.
Doctors conducted an ECG which turned out to be normal.
Doctors determined that the former Finance Minister’s blood pressure dropped after he took hypertension medicine on an empty stomach, Geo News has said.
A video has surfaced on social media where people can be seen carrying him to the vehicle.
Umar faces multiple cases in relation to the May 9 riots, including incitement to vandalism, and the cypher case.
On November 11, 2023, the ex-secretary general of PTI resigned from party membership and withdrew from politics, citing disagreement with the party’s aggressive approach towards state institutions.
