LAHORE: PML-N legislator Khawaja Saad Rafique was reportedly injured in a ‘stampede’ caused by a sudden fire in a Camp Jail barrack housing NAB detainees on Sunday night.

An official source said the fire apparently erupted due to short-circuit in wires supplying electricity to the barrack.

Mr Rafique, MNA, and his brother Salman Rafique, who is a member of the Punjab Assembly, are in the NAB custody in the Paragon City housing scam. The source said that the MNA sustained a head injury when he ran for shelter after the fire erupted.

Senior prisons department officials were not available for a comment.
