Alleged drug dealer Anmol alias Pinky was presented in Karachi’s City Court on Saturday following the completion of her physical remand in a high-profile narcotics case.

Brought under tight security with her face covered, Anmol caused a commotion in the courtroom, shouting accusations against the police and claiming she had been abducted and tortured for 20 days.

She alleged that police had planted drugs on her, coerced statements from her, and filed false cases to target political figures.

“I was abducted from Lahore and held illegally for 20 days,” Anmol told the court, adding that six men forcibly transported her in a vehicle before handing her over to the police 15 days later.

She further claimed threats had been made against her family if she did not comply with police demands.

A female police officer attempted to silence Anmol during the hearing, leading to a brief scuffle.

The judge intervened, reassuring her, saying, “Sit quietly, you will be heard. This is the City Court, and no one will harass you.”

The court staff also provided her with water on the judge’s orders.

Meanwhile, the investigating officer dismissed Anmol’s claims, describing her as “extremely cunning” and alleging that she has been operating a drug network for 15 years.

Police sources revealed that Anmol married a DSP in Punjab to evade arrest, and has been married three times, though official records reportedly conceal some of these details.

Authorities said Anmol ran a sophisticated drug operation spanning Karachi and beyond, including Nigeria, with records from her mobile phone revealing nearly 800 buyers and facilitators.

They added that transactions worth millions of rupees were made through digital payment platforms such as EasyPaisa.

During the hearing, two other suspects, Zeeshan and Sohail, were also presented before the judge.

Police said the men, who are brothers, were involved in significant financial transactions for the drug network, and additional narcotics were recovered based on Anmol’s information.

The court requested copies of prior judicial orders and was informed that 11 new cases had been registered against Anmol following further investigations.

Police emphasised that her remand is essential for apprehending other fugitive members of the network.

The judge instructed Anmol to speak only to her designated lawyer after she tried to converse with several other individuals claiming to be her legal representatives.
