Adnan Syed’s Family and His Conviction

However, Adnan’s other brother, Tanveer, left his family behind after Adnan’s arrest. As Redditors came out of the woodwork to uncover the truth of Lee’s murder, Tanveer joined them. “I had 21 years of my life before it got ruined by Adnan getting arrested,” he told The Guardian in a separate 2014 interview. So, Tanveer moved away to Philadelphia, and was estranged from the rest of his family. But thanks to Serial, the family has since reunited.
