KARACHI: The investigation into the high-profile Anmol Pinky drug network case has intensified after Karachi Police uncovered significant digital and financial evidence linked to the accused. Senior police officials say the latest forensic findings have expanded the scope of the case beyond Karachi, raising concerns about a nationwide narcotics network operating across Pakistan.
During a press conference in Karachi, Additional Inspector General (AIG) Azad Khan revealed that investigators completed a detailed forensic analysis of a mobile phone allegedly connected to Anmol Pinky, also known in media reports as the “Cocaine Queen.”
According to police officials, the recovered device contained 869 contacts, providing investigators with crucial leads in the ongoing narcotics investigation. Authorities have successfully traced 639 contact locations, while information related to 240 additional contacts is still being verified.
Police further disclosed that only 132 contacts appear to be based in Karachi, while the majority belong to other cities, indicating that the alleged drug network may have operations extending across multiple regions of Pakistan.
Investigators have started categorizing the contacts into various groups, including victims, drug suppliers, distributors, facilitators, and alleged protectors of the network. Officials stated that drug-dependent individuals will be treated as victims, while suppliers and operational members associated with the Anmol Pinky case will face criminal charges.
AIG Azad Khan also warned that facilitators and influential individuals suspected of supporting the network would not receive any leniency during the investigation.
The financial probe has also revealed major developments. Authorities recovered nearly 500 pages of banking records covering transactions from the last one and a half years. Police say the accounts linked to Anmol Pinky contain thousands of transactions exceeding Rs30 million.
One account based in Lahore and registered under a woman’s name reportedly showed the highest volume of suspicious financial activity in the case.
Karachi Police officials confirmed that digital records, transaction histories, and communication data are now being analyzed to identify all individuals connected to the alleged narcotics operation and its financial network across Pakistan.
