In a late-night joint operation, Karachi police and a civilian intelligence agency apprehended a “high-profile” female fugitive accused of managing a sophisticated cocaine distribution ring. The suspect, identified as Anmol (alias Pinky), was captured during a raid conducted by the Garden Police Station team. Law enforcement officials described her as a major player in the city’s illegal drug trade who had successfully evaded capture in multiple previous cases.
Police sources say that during the arrest, authorities seized a firearm alongside chemicals and a significant stash of cocaine estimated to be worth millions of rupees. Investigations reveal that Pinky directed an expansive, organised network that utilised a fleet of couriers—including female riders intended to deflect police suspicion—to deliver narcotics to affluent neighbourhoods such as DHA and Clifton.
Her clientele reportedly spanned from university students to high-society figures, with daily sales reaching hundreds of thousands of rupees.
Following the raid, legal proceedings were initiated under the Sindh Arms Act and the Sindh Control of Narcotic Substances Act. However, the case sparked immediate controversy when footage surfaced of the suspect appearing in court. The viral video showed her walking through the halls without handcuffs, wearing sunglasses and carrying a water bottle, while the investigating officer followed behind.
This apparent breach of protocol prompted a swift reaction from Karachi Additional Inspector-General Azad Khan. He has demanded an immediate inquiry from the South DIG to identify which officials allowed the suspect to bypass standard operating procedures. The AIG emphasised that such lapses in professional conduct would not be ignored and that all personnel are strictly required to handle suspects according to established legal mandates.
