Tahir Naeem was arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) Sialkot in connection with a drug-related case. He is facing charges of illegal possession and smuggling of narcotics.

Following his arrest, he was placed on judicial remand and transferred to Adiala Jail. The case is still pending trial, and his legal team is actively pursuing his defense in court.

The meeting was conducted in accordance with the British High Commission’s policy of providing consular support to its citizens detained abroad.

After the meeting, the diplomats left the jail and are expected to submit a report to the UK government, possibly recommending further action based on their findings.
