    Okhla-based scribe recovers after getting plasma, declared negative, dies of cardiac arrest

    The death of Okhla-based Urdu journalist Dr Abdul Qadir Shams Qasmi due to coronavirus has left the journalist circle in Delhi, including Okhla, shocked. A condolence meeting was held today after maghrib prayer in Batla House where a few of his friends, including journalists, recalled his contributions, said Islamic Studies Professor Waris Mazhari.

    It was only a few days ago when a freelance journalist had posted on the social media about deteriorating condition of Dr Abdul Qadir Shams Qasmi, a senior journalist of Roznama Rashtriya Sahara.

Now in the ICU of Jamia Hamdard’s Majidia Hospital, his condition is critical. Plasma is urgently needed,” wrote Manzar Imam on his timeline a few days ago.

However, today he died of cardiac arrest at Majidia Hospital of Jamia Hamdard where he was admitted for last two weeks. His body has been taken to his native place in Duba village of Araria where his namaz-e-janaza will be offered tomorrow.”
