Karachi police file preliminary challan against Anmol alias Pinky

KARACHI: Police have submitted a preliminary challan before a judicial magistrate in District South in a narcotics case against Anmol alias Pinky, describing what investigators say was a drug trafficking network operating between Karachi and Lahore.

According to the challan filed by Garden police on Monday, 16 witnesses have been listed in the case. The accused named as arrested are Pinky, Zeeshan-ur-Rehman, Sohail-ur-Rehman and Muhammad Sameer, while Basil Amika, Humaira and Sabra Bibi have been identified as absconders.

The police told the court that when Pinky was arrested on May 11 from a flat in Garden, officers recovered 1,240 grams of prepared cocaine, 15 capsules containing 300 grams of cocaine, cash and equipment allegedly used for preparing narcotics.

Investigation claims

The challan states that the accused had allegedly been involved in narcotics activity since 2018, with cases registered against her in Karachi and Lahore up to 2026. It further says that because she had absconded, her CNIC, passport and bank accounts were blocked.

Investigators also alleged in the challan that Pinky learned methods of preparing drugs from her former husband and continued the trade after their separation. Police claim she distributed cocaine through a network serving upscale areas of Karachi, educational institutions and private parties.

According to the investigation record, the accused frequently shifted between Karachi and Lahore while running what police described as an organised supply chain. The challan says narcotics were initially moved through co-accused Sabra using local transport routes, with payment made for each consignment.

Network and digital evidence

The police further alleged that after Sabra was arrested in a 2019 Anti-Narcotics Force case, the network broadened by opening accounts in her name and later bringing in other co-accused, including Humaira and Basil Amika, for logistics and delivery work.

The challan says digital forensic examination of mobile phones found the involvement of riders identified as Azaaz, Hamza and Aqib. Investigators also claimed the group used WhatsApp for online sales, while payments were routed through several bank accounts allegedly operated by co-accused Zeeshan and Sohail.

According to the police version placed before the court, payment confirmations were shared through screenshots and the drugs were then delivered through riders.
