The commissioner, a BS-20 officer, whose condition was earlier reported as critical by doctors, had suffered 99 per cent burns in an explosion in Apartment 17 of the Park Towers studio apartments in Sector F-10 Islamabad.
Asghar Nisa, a woman who was also in the apartment and had sustained 45 per cent burn injuries, is also in critical condition the doctors said.
Police sources had attributed the explosion to a gas leak in the apartment.
Both patients were admitted at the hospital’s burn centre.
Confirming the incident, Pims Spokesperson Dr Ayesha Eshani had said Anis was in a critical condition as the burn injuries summed up to almost 100 per cent.
The apartment in which the explosion had occurred is in the basement of the building which is located next to the main towers.
The door of the apartment was completely destroyed in the explosion but items such as the TV in the small living room and the bed in the bedroom appeared undamaged.
There were glass shards in a narrow lane next to the apartment from shattered windows. A security guard of the complex had said that the explosion had affected around 10 adjacent apartments.
According to sources, the commissioner was staying at the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa House along with his family and was in town to see-off his son, who left for the UK on October 25.
Meanwhile, SSP Operations Muhammad Rizwan had said the commissioner was at the apartment to visit a friend.
There were no fire extinguishers or fire exits in the basement of the building.

Sad, very sad.
I pray they both survive and start a very pious life.
Do we need to comment? Perhaps not.
The circumstances are telling the truth out loud.
Hey Boss both are brother and sister,commissioner went there to congratulate her for her recent successes living in Islamabad
@Ali: I agree with you. There is no truth in it. There was no explosion. Nobody was burnt. Nobody visited Park Tower. Nobody was admitted in hospital. You can continue denying the events and your denial will not alter the facts. Thank you MEDIA. You are exposing how and who are managing this country. What we are today is because of these kind of people. I will not br surprised if Sahibzada is shown present at Peshawar in the official record. I also do not understand the concern shown by KPK Govenor. He has lost his carrier.
@Adnan Siddiqi:
Only ET will let you vomit your vitriol in a public space. You are made for each other.
You guys don't know nothing. You don't know what we are going through. Just stop believing the media blind folded. There is no truth in it. And keep your dirty comments to yourself.
It's a shame to read these comments when nobody knows what happened there. What concerns me even more is that someone is in critical condition and this is how the people react to it. One day the same situation may befall you or your loved ones, and i hope no body is there to make a showtime soap out of it. God riddance with such Pakistani's! I request the Tribune should read all the crap people post here and approve comments which arent hurtful before the are posted
stop this stupid , ridiculous and inhumane comments of yours on two victims . What you commented is Very annoying and very shameful. It shows your filthy mentality.
I request to the Tribune Express team who is RESPONSIBLE/SUPPOSE to READ comments before putting them up for reading that kindly READ COMMENTS BEFORE YOU PUT THEM UP FOR READING AND STOP PUTTING UP SUCH INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS..
We are nobody to decide what was happening,wth whome he was,why he was.......everyone is responsible for thier acts......let the true story reveal.....till then we can pray for thier survival......
donnot blame him waite for true story.sometimes it doesnot happen like we think .so we should waite
Family at KPK House in Islamabad the good commissioner himself having some "Quality Time" off in an apartment.......Well he could have easily had some quality time like that at another location in Islamabad - The Goldsmith Mansion at Banigala :D
That's what happens when u live a double life. Leaving ur fam thinking ur doing some office work and planning a burning weekend with a ho
Looks suspicious. Something's fishy,fishy.
Islamabad federal capital of Ir Pakistan the place the city this territory is very important from every point of view localy and Internanionaly for the general puclic for their security there is lesson to learn: There were no fire extinguishers or fire exits in the basement of the building the concerned authorities must take action in this regard
;-)chief... lol... i was thinking the same. When God ashames someone it could even be worse, but He is kind.
What exactly did him and her do that caused the explosion? Either way it turned out to be an explosive relationship.
i don,t understand why people not blaming federal govt for this because the incident took place in Islamabad
@;-)chief: What's your point? The man and the woman both are in horrible pain and may not survive.
He was meeting with good friend. And Fire lighten the whole! It is very sad incident! We should not comment on his personal life. If he was good officer we should wish for his survival.
