According to reports, the explosion was triggered when a friend of Butt’s lit a lighter near gas-filled balloons, causing them to ignite and burst, creating a loud explosion and a brief fire.

Although the injuries sustained were minor, the incident raised serious concerns about the safety of such public gatherings.

This explosion marks the latest in a series of unfortunate events for Butt, who recently made headlines after being arrested in collaboration with the Wildlife Department for displaying firearms and illegally keeping a lion cub at his residence.
