KARACHI: An investigating officer (IO) in the case against alleged cocaine dealer Anmol “Pinky” filed an interim charge sheet on Monday, alleging that the accused has engaged in drug trafficking for the past 16 years. According to the officer, Pinky reportedly supplied narcotic substances in upscale neighborhoods and to university and school students.
The charge sheet was submitted to the South Judicial Magistrate. The IO also requested additional time to submit the final report, citing the need for forensic analyses and responses from relevant departments concerning the suspects’ travel histories and investigative assistance.
In the absence of a defense counsel, the court adjourned the matter until June 20.
In the interim charge sheet, the IO marked three suspects—Humaira, Sabra, and Aina—in Column II with red ink, while three others—Humza, Aqib, and Aizaz—were listed in Column II with blue ink, as their whereabouts are unknown. Four other individuals, including Pinky, remain in judicial remand.
Interim charge sheet filed in court
The IO’s report indicates that the main suspect reportedly learned how to manufacture cocaine from her ex‑husband, Rana Nasir. Following their separation, she allegedly set up her own trafficking network in affluent areas and among university and school students, as well as at social gatherings.
Initially, Pinky used her accomplice Sabra to transport drugs from Lahore to Karachi via local buses, paying Sabra Rs 50,000 per trip. After Pinky’s accounts were frozen by the Anti‑Narcotics Force in 2019, she allegedly opened new accounts in Sabra’s name for drug‑related transactions.
The IO also recovered cheques bearing Sabra’s name from Pinky at the time of her arrest. When Sabra was detained in a Lahore drug case in 2024, Pinky reportedly recruited Humaira to assist in trafficking. Humaira allegedly transported drugs to Karachi through riders and received Rs 60,000 per shipment, as corroborated by phone conversations. Pinky also paid Rs 70,000 to accomplice Aina, who used her network to supply drugs from Lahore to Karachi customers.
The IO described Pinky’s modus operandi as leveraging online platforms, including WhatsApp, for transactions. Buyers would contact Pinky via WhatsApp, and she would direct them to transfer funds to the bank accounts of accomplices Zeeshan and his brother Sohail. Upon receipt, Zeeshan shared a screenshot with Pinky for confirmation.
A rider named Sameer, who was arrested at Darkhshan police station, also had bank accounts opened in his name by Pinky. The IO noted that ATM cards linked to those accounts remained in Pinky’s possession. During interrogation, Zeeshan and Sohail revealed that Pinky’s brother, Nasir, worked at their shop. They reported channeling drug proceeds into these accounts after taking their shares. Sameer admitted that, on Pinky’s instructions, he supplied drugs.
According to the IO, Pinky has been charged in 27 cases across Punjab and Karachi police stations from 2018 to 2026. Her four brothers have allegedly been booked in nine cases in Lahore and Karachi.
Pinky reportedly sold cocaine in boxes marked with her name, charging Rs 20,000 per gram for the “simple” grade and Rs 40,000 per gram for the “golden” grade. Two of her accounts, frozen by the Anti‑Narcotics Force, showed total credits of over Rs 60 million in one Lahore account and Rs 218,511 in the other.
Later, the court postponed an application seeking permission to record voice samples of suspects in the case, as the defense counsel was absent. The matter was rescheduled for June 20.
