Authorities have petitioned a city judicial magistrate to authorize the transfer of digital evidence, including voice recordings and call logs, connected to the drug case against Anmol, also known as Pinky, to a forensic laboratory in Punjab for detailed analysis.
During proceedings, police revealed possession of various digital materials such as voice messages and call recordings allegedly tied to drug trafficking activities involving the accused. Anmol has denied ownership of the voices in these recordings, asserting they are not hers.
Law enforcement emphasized that the authenticity of this digital evidence can only be confirmed through forensic testing. They urged the court to permit the dispatch of all relevant digital files to the Punjab forensic lab to facilitate a thorough and transparent investigation.
The police submission highlighted that a forensic report verifying whether the voice matches the accused would significantly bolster the case, which includes narcotics charges alongside other pending allegations. The court’s approval is sought to ensure the integrity and conclusiveness of the inquiry.
In a significant development, investigators have outlined that Pinky established a vast narcotics distribution network spanning Karachi and multiple other cities over nearly twenty years. Originating from Karachi’s Naghara Goth area in Baloch Para, Anmol entered the drug trade in 2008 by supplying cocaine and other substances at elite dance parties in Defence and Clifton.
Over time, she adopted the moniker “Pinky” and expanded her operations beyond affluent social circles into a broader supply chain. The network reportedly served over 800 clients through a coordinated system involving numerous associates, including both men and women who facilitated drug transport and distribution across Karachi and other major urban centers.
Officials noted that the network’s reach extended into educational institutions such as universities and colleges, utilizing online platforms to connect with customers. Following the high-profile Armaghan case in Karachi last year, Anmol allegedly went into hiding, relocating her operations to Lahore and Islamabad while continuing to oversee the network remotely.
Authorities also allege that Anmol managed a textile business in Lahore alongside her narcotics activities. Additionally, two of her brothers have been previously arrested and imprisoned on separate drug trafficking charges.
Anmol was apprehended recently during a police raid by Garden police in Karachi. However, controversy arose after a video circulated on social media showing her appearing in court without handcuffs despite facing serious narcotics and illegal weapons charges.
This incident prompted Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho to order an investigation into the breach of standard operating procedures. The Additional Inspector General Karachi was directed to submit a report, and disciplinary measures were mandated against any officials found negligent.
Furthermore, a senior-level inquiry committee has been established to examine the circumstances of the court appearance and ensure accountability as the probe into the drug network and its operations continues.
