Short circuit likely cause of fire at MP Nusrat’s house: Salahuddin

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said a short circuit was the most likely cause of the fire at the village home of reserved-seat MP Nusrat Tabassum.

However, he said, the government would take appropriate action if further investigation revealed evidence of sabotage.

The home minister made the remarks in parliament on Thursday. 

He said an investigation has been ordered to determine whether the fire at the lawmaker’s house was accidental or deliberately set.
