Ex PML-N senator Chaudhry Tanveer arrested in murder case

RAWALPINDI: Former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator and close friend of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Chaudhry Tanveer, was arrested from the Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi Bench on Tuesday after his pre-arrest bail plea was dismissed in the high-profile murder case of ex-MPA Chaudhry Adnan.

Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan rejected the bail application, following which law enforcement officers arrested Chaudhry Tanveer from the court premises.

Tanveer is a nominated accused in the murder investigation of ex-MPA Ch Adnan of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) , which is being handled by the Civil Lines Police Station in Rawalpindi.

The case has drawn public and political attention due to its sensitive nature and the high-profile individuals allegedly involved.

According to the FIR, Tanveer, his son MNA Daniyal Chaudhry, and Chaudhry Changez Khan were nominated in the case on the complaint of Adnan’s in-laws. The complaint links the murder to a long-standing political and property dispute.

Chaudhry Adnan, 48, was shot dead on February 12 near Jinnah Park while returning home to Jhanda Chichi. He had just attended a meeting at a housing society’s office regarding a land dispute.

Two armed assailants on a motorcycle reportedly approached his black SUV at a traffic signal and opened fire, hitting him in the neck and face. He died on the way to Benazir Bhutto Hospital.

The FIR states that Adnan had ongoing tensions with Tanveer and others. He had reportedly expressed fears for his life and had named the individuals he believed would be responsible if anything happened to him.
