Car mysteriously catches fire at PTI rally venue |
| Hasan's condition is critical and he has been shifted to Nishtar Hospital in Multan. |
According to media reports, the CNG fitted car parked in a nearby parking lot at the Mazar-i-Quaid caught fire all of a sudden after a short circuit, engulfing the car completely. Nearby cars were moved immediately to avoid the fire from spreading and causing a major explosion.
PTI leader Imran Khan had visited the venue an hour prior to the incident to inspect the preparations of one of the most anticipated rallies in recent months. Hundreds of PTI workers were present at the venue, preparing for the Sunday event, Express News had reported earlier in the evening.
The fire brigade arrived at the venue after a brief delay and successfully extinguished the fire.
The car’s owner was identified as a PTI worker, Geo News reported.
Meanwhile a senior police official dismissed the incident as a coincidence.
The PTI rally has been shrouded in controversy in recent days, leading up to the event date, with the security administration of the Mazar-e-Quaid closing the venue site on Thursday night. It was reopened later on Friday morning
