Ahmed Chinoy | |
|---|---|
| Occupation | Businessman |
| Known for | Former chief of the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee |
| Awards | Hilal-i-Imtiaz, Sitara-i-Imtiaz |
Ahmed Chinoy is a Pakistani businessman and former chief of the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) in Sindh. He headed the organisation from 2010 to 2015 and has also served as a director of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). During his tenure at the CPLC, he was involved in anti-kidnapping operations and negotiations concerning sailors held by Somali pirates. Chinoy has received the Sitara-i-Imtiaz and Hilal-i-Imtiaz for public service.[1][2]
Business and capital markets
[edit]Chinoy has been associated with Pakistan's textile and capital-market sectors. In 2006, Business Recorder reported that he had been elected central chairman of the Pakistan Cloth Merchants Association for the 2006–07 term.[3]
He has subsequently served as a non-executive and elected shareholder director of the Pakistan Stock Exchange. PSX has also listed Chinoy as its nominee director at the Central Depository Company of Pakistan, National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited and Pakistan Mercantile Exchange.[4]
Citizens-Police Liaison Committee
[edit]Chinoy became chief of the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee in March 2010.[5]
During his tenure, the organisation worked with police and other law-enforcement agencies on kidnapping-for-ransom, extortion and other criminal cases.
A 2014 Financial Times feature on crime and violence in Karachi described Chinoy following an overnight anti-kidnapping operation and discussed the CPLC's role in tracking kidnapping gangs and assisting in the recovery of captives.[6]
In 2014, Dawn also reported plans by the CPLC and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry to establish a command-and-control centre intended to assist members of the business community with complaints relating to extortion, kidnapping and robbery.[7]
Somali piracy and hostage negotiations
[edit]Chinoy was involved in negotiations concerning crew members of the MV Albedo, a Malaysian-flagged cargo vessel hijacked by Somali pirates in November 2010.
A lengthy Express Tribune Sunday Magazine feature reported that the CPLC became involved in efforts to secure the hostages' release. According to the report, Chinoy and the organisation approached Somali businessmen and tribal leaders in an attempt to negotiate with the pirates and reduce their demands.[8]
The National reported in March 2012 that Chinoy was acting as a chief negotiator in the talks and had travelled to Dubai as part of efforts to reach an agreement involving Somali intermediaries and tribal leaders.[9]
The negotiations were also the subject of disagreement. In July 2012, The Express Tribune reported disputes over the proposed ransom payment and criticism concerning Chinoy's role in the negotiations.[10]
Seven Pakistani members of the crew returned home in August 2012 after approximately 22 months in captivity. The Express Tribune reported that the effort to secure their release involved the Sindh governor, Pakistani intelligence agencies and Chinoy in his capacity as CPLC chief.[11]
2015 Rangers controversy and departure
[edit]In January 2015, controversy arose after Pakistan Rangers personnel visited Chinoy's residence during an investigation concerning a kidnapping case.
Dawn reported conflicting accounts of the incident. Chinoy initially described the event as a raid but later said Rangers personnel had visited to exchange information concerning the kidnapping investigation. He denied reports that a kidnapping victim or ransom money had been recovered from his residence.[12]
A subsequent Dawn editorial called for clarification of the circumstances surrounding the episode.[13]
In June 2015, Dawn reported that Sindh governor Ishratul Ibad Khan had sought Chinoy's resignation as CPLC chief.[14]
The CPLC board formally accepted his resignation in October 2015 and appointed Zubair Habib as his successor.[15]
2018 Senate candidacy
[edit]In 2018, Chinoy contested a general seat from Sindh in the 2018 Pakistani Senate election as a candidate of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P). The Election Commission of Pakistan's final list of candidates recorded him as an MQM-P candidate for a general seat.[16]
Dawn listed Chinoy among the candidates remaining in the contest after the withdrawal period and later included him among the prominent candidates contesting from Sindh on polling day.[17][18]
He was not elected.
Honours
[edit]Chinoy received the Sitara-i-Imtiaz for public service in 2007.[1]
He was subsequently named among the recipients of the Hilal-i-Imtiaz. Dawn included Chinoy in its 2012 list of recipients, and the decoration was presented during the Pakistan Day civil-awards ceremonies in March 2013.[2][19]
