Quick Facts
- Anmol alias Pinky was arrested last week in Karachi with narcotics and an unlicensed weapon.
- She faces 15 active criminal cases and is currently split between police and judicial custody.
- The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been called in to track a suspected network of hidden bank accounts.
- The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is probing her use of cyberspace to sell drugs to students.
- Heavy security has been deployed for the suspect to prevent potential assassination attempts by criminal associates.
- Police are actively separating casual drug users from major bulk suppliers ruining society.
The investigation took a significant turn following the discovery of a bank account linked to the suspect containing Rs30 million. IG Odho confirmed that the police expect to uncover many more illicit accounts. Because provincial police lack the legal authority to directly audit banking transactions or prosecute financial fraud, the Sindh Police have officially requested the FIA to launch a parallel money laundering inquiry.
The provincial police chief also highlighted a dangerous shift in regional crime, noting that the narcotics trade has heavily migrated to the internet. The newly formed NCCIA has joined the investigation team to trace how the network used social media and digital spaces to target children and university students. Furthermore, specialized federal intelligence agencies are assisting the police in tracking international extortion rings that utilize digital footprints to threaten local traders from abroad.
IG Odho addressed the intense security measures surrounding Anmol during her court hearings, dismissing her allegations that police were pressuring her to name-drop influential politicians. He explained that high-profile suspects face severe psychological stress and that the heavy police guard is meant to protect her from external harm. Authorities fear that powerful accomplices might attempt to silence her before she exposes the larger network. The IG concluded by reiterating a strict policing policy, vowing to show no leniency to bulk suppliers who act as the structural backbone of the regional drug trade.
