\nA joint team of the FIA and the Human Organ Transplant Authority (HOTA) raided the house of transplant surgeon Dr Fawad Mumtaz in Bahria Town, Lahore, yesterday when it transpired that known comedian Umar Sharif\u2019s daughter died from serious complications after he carried out her allegedly \u2018illegal kidney transplant\u2019 at an undisclosed location in Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
\nPresently serving at the Lahore General Hospital, Dr Fawad was notorious for running an organ trade network in various parts of Punjab.
\nHe said the team returned when it learnt that Dr Fawad had already left his home to avoid arrest.
\nThe joint team of the FIA and the HOTA acted on a written complaint of Umar Sharif\u2019s son Jawad Umar, who said his sister Hira Sharif died in the wake of her illegal kidney transplant carried out by Dr Fawad Mumtaz.
\nHe said Dr Fawad charged Rs3.4 million for the organ transplant and took her to an undisclosed place in AJK where she developed serious complications a week after the operation. He, however, did not say whether the family was aware that this was going to be an illegal transplant.
\nMr Jawad alleged that his sister was brought to a private hospital at Raiwind Road in a life-threatening condition and she breathed her last on Monday night due to serious complications.
\nHe, however, expressed ignorance about the exact location, building or road where surgery on his sister was performed.
\nFollowing his application, HOTA formed a four-member committee to probe the allegations, the official said.
\nUmer Sharif was on a three-month visit to the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
