A huge fire broke out at Centaurus Mall reportedly from the ‘Monal Downtown’ on the food court on Sunday afternoon which engulfed almost all the floors of Tower A of a commercial and residential skyscraper in the heart of Islamabad.
Soon after the incident, social media users started pointing out that the Centaurus fire incident was predicted by Syed Saim, a student of filmmaking at Iqra University in Islamabad, months ago in august.
In the tweet he shared on 30th August, it is evident that he shared some images of the Centaurus mall on firesaying, ‘Was bored, so I burned Centaurus Mall’.
The fact that the tower which is highlighted in the tweet is the same which caught fire yesterday makes the matter more horrifying.
He shared his statement on his socials the same day fire erupted saying,
He clarified that he did not intend to promote hate and violence. Since he is a student of filmmaking, the visual representation of Centaurus on fire was just a learning project for him. He also shared the visuals of his university burning and is now worried about this.
