The body of veteran comedian Umer Sharif, who passed away in Germany today, would arrive in Karachi on Tuesday, it has been learnt through reliable sources.
According to sources, the German hospital where the comedy legend was being treated had issued the death certificate but according to the country’s laws, an official death certificate will be required to send a body to another country, therefore the clearance would be given on Monday as local government offices remained closed on Saturday and Sunday due to weekly holidays in Germany, sources added.
Speaking to the journalists, Umer Sharif‘s son Jawad Umar urged the nation to pray for Sharif’s forgiveness. He told the media that “arrangements are being made for burial, as soon as a decision is taken, we will announce the funeral prayers,” he added.
Earlier, Saeed Ghani in a message from his Twitter handle said that measures were taken by the provincial government to make arrangements in this regard.
The announcement from Saeed Ghani came after the son of the comedian Jawad Umer said that it was his father’s wish that he would be buried at the premises of the shrine of Saint Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA).
