Talking to 24News, his wife Zareen said air ambulance had failed to arrive as yet due to two weekly holidays, Saturday and Sunday. “Hopefully, it will arrive on Tuesday,” she said.

She further said money would be transferred into Umar’s bank account on Monday so that he could bear his travelling expenses.
