We were already investigating two cases of air conditioner explosions when two more blasts were reported, resulting in the deaths of a lady and a popular businessman after they were severely burned.
"The police have now officially confirmed that these blasts are happening because of the air conditioners being used in homes or offices.
"Previously, in Faisalabad, two AC explosions occurred, causing the deaths of 14 people. Now, two more incidents have come to light.
"These incidents are very dangerous because we all use ACs at home, and sometimes we visit areas where air conditioners are installed. We are investigating this matter and will soon share the causes of these AC blasts", he said.

Social media users are of the view that these blasts are happening because of the substandard Gas R32 which is being used in many air conditioning appliances, especially inverters. A social media user wrote that two incidents also occurred in Dera Ismail Khan which haven’t been reported yet.
