Fresh details have surfaced from the investigative report of alleged drug trafficker Anmol alias “Pinky,” widely dubbed the “Cocaine Queen,” revealing the structure and operations of a narcotics network allegedly spread across Lahore and Karachi.

According to investigators, Pinky disclosed during interrogation that she received her early education in Karachi’s Sohrab Goth area before moving to Lahore in 2006 to pursue modelling and acting.

The accused told investigators that she later met former police officer Rana Nasir, whom she eventually married. According to the report, Pinky alleged that Rana Nasir introduced her to the narcotics trade.

Investigators said the network later expanded into an organised cross-city operation with alleged international links.

According to the probe report, Pinky claimed pure cocaine was brought into Pakistan through African nationals before being mixed with various chemicals and sold in local markets. She allegedly played a key role in transporting narcotics from Lahore to Karachi.

The accused further alleged that after her arrest in 2024, she was released in exchange for a bribe. Following her separation, she allegedly established an independent drug network that employed multiple operatives, including female couriers, for distribution activities.

Investigators said Pinky admitted that some members of her Karachi-based network, which allegedly consisted of seven riders, remain active.

Authorities also revealed that the syndicate used bank accounts and Easypaisa retailers to collect payments from customers.

The latest findings add to an expanding investigation into what officials describe as a sophisticated narcotics operation that relied on covert delivery methods and digital financial channels to evade law enforcement.

Earlier investigations revealed that the group used a highly secretive delivery system in which riders avoided direct meetings with buyers. Narcotics were allegedly hidden under stones or at isolated locations, after which customers were sent the exact coordinates for pickup.

Officials said the method helped the network avoid police detection for years.

Investigators have also identified Pinky’s brother, Shaukat Bakhsh, as a central figure in the operation. Raids are continuing to arrest him, while police confirmed that he already faces a narcotics case registered at Boat Basin Police Station.

Authorities said the network allegedly supplied drugs to affluent neighbourhoods and educational institutions in Karachi.

The investigation has now widened further, with police and intelligence agencies examining the syndicate’s financial channels, supply routes and alleged facilitators.

Sources said former police officer Rana Akram has also been summoned for questioning as investigators attempt to trace individuals suspected of supporting the network.

Background

Alleged drug trafficker Anmol alias “Pinky,” dubbed the “Cocaine Queen” by investigators, was arrested earlier this week during a joint operation conducted by Karachi police and federal agencies in the Garden area.

Authorities claimed she was operating a large narcotics network spanning multiple cities across Pakistan and was wanted in more than 10 criminal cases.

Police said high-quality narcotics worth millions of rupees, along with a pistol and ammunition, were recovered during the raid.

Investigators alleged that Pinky used female riders and digital payment channels to distribute drugs while avoiding police surveillance. Officials also claimed the network targeted students at educational institutions and affluent clients in major urban centres.

A local court later sent the accused to jail on judicial remand, while police subsequently secured a three-day physical remand for further interrogation.

The case drew further attention after videos circulated on social media showing the accused appearing in court without handcuffs and allegedly receiving protocol. Following the controversy, senior police officials ordered inquiries and suspended officers accused of granting undue privileges.

Investigators later revealed that Pinky allegedly operated drug supply networks from both Karachi and Lahore and maintained links with accomplices across several cities, including Islamabad, Multan, Murree, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Authorities also alleged that she launched her own narcotics brand under the name “Queen Madam Pinky” and used online payment systems and mobile franchise networks to handle transactions.

The investigation has since expanded to Lahore, where the Punjab government and the Crime Control Department (CCD) have initiated separate inquiries into the network and alleged procedural lapses in earlier cases linked to Pinky and her associates.
