Karachi Police Arrest ‘Highly Wanted’ Female Drug Lord in Major Narcotics Bust
Karachi police have arrested a “highly wanted” woman accused of running a large-scale narcotics network supplying cocaine and other drugs across the city, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The suspect, identified as Anmol alias Pinki, was arrested during a late-night joint operation conducted by Garden Police Station and a civilian intelligence agency.
Organised Drug Network Allegations
Police said the accused had been absconding in multiple cases and was considered “highly wanted” due to her alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
Authorities claim she operated an organised network supplying narcotics across Karachi, including upscale areas such as Clifton and DHA, using online channels and hired riders for distribution.
Officials further stated that female riders were used to avoid detection by law enforcement agencies.
“The accused’s customers included students as well as prominent personalities,” the police statement said, adding that drugs worth hundreds of thousands of rupees were sold daily through various methods.
Recovered Weapons and Narcotics
During the operation, police reportedly recovered a pistol, cocaine worth millions of rupees, chemical substances, and other narcotics.
Two separate First Information Reports (FIRs) have been registered against the suspect under the Sindh Control of Narcotic Substances Act 2024 and the Sindh Arms Act 2013.
Court Appearance Sparks Controversy
The case gained further attention after a video of the accused being presented in court went viral on social media.
The footage shows her walking through a courtroom corridor without handcuffs, wearing sunglasses and carrying a water bottle, while being escorted by an investigating officer.
The incident prompted criticism online and led Karachi Additional Inspector General Azad Khan to take notice, seeking a detailed report from the South DIG.
Police Inquiry Ordered
The Additional IG has ordered an inquiry into the matter and stressed that all officers must follow legal procedures and standard operating protocols.
He warned that negligence or violation of SOPs would not be tolerated and that responsibility would be fixed where necessary.
