Theatre actress Nigar’s husband arrested for possessing cocaine

Further searches of Chaudhry's residence also yielded a substantial amount of narcotics

Police have arrested theatre actress Nigar Chaudhry’s husband, Umar Butt (also known as Speedy), on charges of possessing nearly 10 kilograms of cocaine.

According to the CIA police, the arrest took place two months ago in Wahdat Colony. A significant quantity of cocaine was found in his vehicle at the time of arrest.

Police reports indicate that further searches of Chaudhry’s residence also yielded a substantial amount of narcotics. Butt has reportedly confessed to the charges. Police sources state that Butt served a six-year prison sentence abroad before this arrest. The raid on Chaudhry’s home also resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of drugs.

Butt is currently in jail awaiting trial, and Chaudhry is alleged to be attempting to deflect blame onto the police to prevent his conviction.

Police seized bags containing narcotics from Chaudhry’s residence. Samples have been sent to a forensic laboratory for analysis, and legal proceedings are ongoing. The investigation is continuing.
