Qureshi had served as a member of the Punjab Assembly after being elected on a reserved seat for women in the 2013 general elections.

Earlier this month, PML-N Punjab's president Rana Sanaullah was arrested after a large quantity of drugs was reportedly found from his vehicle.

In a separate incident, the ANF arrested two suspects after seizing 24 kgs of hashish from a vehicle transporting poultry in Multan.
