Karachi police arrest alleged drug peddler Anmol alias Pinky for running a network of drug supply across the city, with weapons and drugs seized.
Police produce alleged drug peddler Anmol alias Pinky before a local court in Karachi on May 12, 2026. The case against her involves charges of operating a "network of drug supply" in the city, and she is currently in law enforcers' custody on physical remand. A local court in Karachi has approved a three-day physical remand for Pinky in a case registered by Karachi South Police.
According to police, Pinky was arrested from Karachi's Garden area and was wanted in at least multiple different cases. Authorities claim weapons, cocaine, and other drugs worth around Rs1.5 million were recovered from her possession during the arrest operation. Investigators told the court that 1,540 grams of cocaine and 6,970 grams of raw material for drug production were seized.
In an audio message recovered from Pinky's mobile phone, she warned associates about a possible arrest and indicated that operations would continue through another person if anything happened to her. The recording suggests a potential network of operatives linked to Pinky.
The Karachi Police had initially failed to secure Pinky's physical remand after the court sent her to judicial custody until May 25. However, investigators later filed a fresh plea arguing they needed custody to trace the cocaine supply source, investigate her financial network, and verify her criminal record. The court subsequently approved a three-day physical remand.
Separately, SSP South was removed from the inquiry linked to Pinky's court appearance and replaced by DIG West Irfan Baloch. DIG West has been tasked with investigating all matters that surfaced during her court appearance, including alleged protocol violations. Authorities directed him to submit a report within three days, while the Additional IG warned of strict action against officials found guilty of negligence or misconduct.
Investigation reports submitted before the court stated that multiple cases under the Anti-Narcotics Act had been registered against Pinky between 2021 and 2024. The prosecution had requested physical remand until May 25, arguing that investigators needed custody to trace the source and financial network behind the drug supply operation. The court, however, initially sent the accused to judicial custody until the same date.
The court also noted that Pinky did not raise any allegations of police torture or misconduct during the proceedings. It was mentioned that Pinky was residing in Lahore before going into hiding. According to Lahore Police, her brother, Riaz Baloch, was arrested in a drug case registered at Kot Lakhpat Police Station. During questioning, her brother allegedly identified the woman who escaped from the scene as Pinky.
Police stated that she had been living in a private housing area in Kot Lakhpat with her brothers before disappearing. However, Punjab Police clarified that Pinky has no criminal record in their official provincial database.
