LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique was slightly injured when fire erupted in NAB barrack No 5 at the Camp Jail on late Sunday night.

According to sources, fire erupted outside the jail cell of Fawad Ahmed Fawad due to short-circuit which spread panic among the inmates. Khawaja Saad Rafique, who was in Camp Jail on judicial remand, received a minor head injury when his head hit an iron railing when he was making an emergency call to inform authorities about the fire.
