Tareen started the journey as an Assistant sub-inspector, in the year 1989 in the federal capital, by using a fake appointment letter and surprisingly promoted to Superintendent of Police (SP) and got transferred to Sindh in the year 1997.

He was also spotted with PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
