Drug network probe widens in Anmol alias Pinky case
2 min readDrug trafficking cases registered against Anmol alias Pinky have increased, prompting police to expand the scope of investigation into her alleged network and review previous cases, officials said on Friday.
According to police officials, a 2024 case registered at the Wahdat Colony police station in Lahore has brought fresh developments in the probe.
The case involves the accused Sabra Bibi, from whom 20 grams of cocaine were recovered.
The FIR states that during interrogation, Sabra Bibi allegedly disclosed she obtained the drugs from Anmol in Karachi.
Following this statement, investigators have begun reviewing older cases and records linked to the accused across different police stations.
Police said this is now the fourth case being examined as part of the wider investigation into the alleged drug supply network.
Officials said Anmol was arrested on May 12 in Karachi’s Garden area during a joint operation by police and a federal agency.
Police records show she has been nominated in multiple cases and was previously arrested in 2018 before being released on bail.
Investigators are now consolidating evidence from different jurisdictions as the probe continues.
Earlier, 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.
