A major commotion erupted during the court appearance of alleged drug peddler Anmol, also known as Pinky, in Karachi on Monday.
Anmol Pinky was produced before the Judicial Magistrate South at the Karachi Judicial Complex in connection with a murder case registered at the Baghdadi police station.
During the hearing, Anmol accused the police of torturing her.
The court inquired whether she had previously reported the torture and whether her lawyer had requested a medical examination.
Anmol told the court that she had been beaten, claiming multiple investigating officers were involved in the alleged torture.
When the accused tried to name some important and influential figures in connection with her case, the police officers present there raised a noise and muffled her voice.
The court reserved its decision on the police request for Anmol’s physical remand.
Prior to the hearing, the investigating officer barred Anmol from speaking in court, stating that she was in police custody, adding that she should consult her lawyer.
The judicial magistrate instructed journalists to leave the courtroom, allowing only lawyers associated with the case to remain inside.
Heated scenes were witnessed during the hearing as plainclothes officials scuffled with media persons, pushing them and causing a commotion inside the courtroom.
