KARACHI: A decision has been made to transfer drug dealer Anmol, also known as Pinky, to the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) for medical treatment.
The Sindh Home Department has issued a letter requesting the transfer and ensuring security for Anmol Pinky, who is implicated in 23 cases. He will be escorted to the hospital with stringent security measures in place.
The letter emphasises the need for exceptional security arrangements during Anmol Pinky’s movement outside the prison, and it requests assurances for the safe custody and transfer of the prisoner.
It is important to note that the investigation involving Anmol Pinky, referred to as the “cocaine queen,” has revealed potential money laundering activities amounting to crores of rupees through digital forensics and an initial financial audit report. The scope of the investigation has been expanded further.
Sources indicate that corporate figures, well-known actors, and some high-ranking government officials may also be scrutinised in connection with this case. The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has intensified its collaboration with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), and relevant financial institutions.
The investigation has uncovered that transactions totalling crores of rupees were conducted through various bank accounts belonging to Anmol over the past year and a half. Notably, around Rs 30 million was transferred from just one account. Approximately Rs 29.4 million received from cocaine customers was also disbursed across multiple accounts. According to documents reviewed, significant transfers have been recorded in the accounts of several individuals, including business and overseas accounts. The investigation team has sought additional financial records from the State Bank for further analysis.
