KARACHI (Dunya News) - An alleged long-running drug trafficking network operated by accused Anmol alias Pinky reportedly targeted upscale neighbourhoods as well as students in universities and schools, an investigating officer (IO) informed a court on Monday.
The IO submitted an interim charge sheet before the judicial magistrate (South), stating that the accused had been involved in narcotics trafficking for around 16 years. He requested additional time to submit a final report, citing pending forensic results and responses from relevant departments regarding travel records and other investigative details.
The court adjourned the hearing until June 20 due to the absence of defence counsel.
According to the interim charge sheet, several suspects have been placed in different categories, while four individuals, including the main accused, are currently in judicial custody.
The IO alleged that the accused learned to prepare cocaine from her former husband and later established her own drug distribution network after their separation. The report claims that drugs were supplied to high-end areas and educational institutions through associates.
Initially, the accused allegedly transported narcotics from Lahore to Karachi via public transport with the help of an associate, Sabra, for a payment per trip. After her bank accounts were frozen in 2019, she reportedly used accounts opened in Sabra’s name for financial transactions linked to the network.
The charge sheet further alleges that after Sabra’s arrest in a separate case, another associate, Humaira, was recruited to continue transportation of narcotics to Karachi, while additional accomplices handled distribution and logistics.
Investigators also claimed that social media and messaging platforms such as WhatsApp were used to coordinate sales. Buyers would transfer payments to designated accounts, after which transaction confirmations were shared within the network.
The IO further stated that the accused had been named in 27 cases across Punjab and Karachi between 2018 and 2026, while several family members were also allegedly linked to similar cases.
He added that narcotics were sold under different categories at varying prices, and that frozen bank accounts linked to the accused reportedly showed transactions worth tens of millions of rupees.
The court also adjourned a separate hearing regarding permission to record voice samples of suspects, after defence counsel failed to appear. The case will be taken up again on June 20.
