In a major development in the case of suspected cocaine dealer Anmol alias Pinky,” the Karachi Police have approached the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for formal assistance in probing alleged money laundering and cybercrime links connected to the accused.
According to police sources, investigators suspect that Anmol and his associates were involved in large-scale financial transactions conducted through multiple bank accounts, prompting authorities to seek the FIA’s technical expertise to trace digital and banking records.
DIG South Asad Raza has sent a formal letter to FIA officials in this regard. The letter states that investigations conducted so far have revealed that the accused’s associates were receiving and transferring large sums of money through various bank accounts.
Karachi Police suspect that the accused are involved in large-scale narcotics trafficking and related illegal financial transactions.
In the letter, DIG South requested that, since the high-profile case involves cyber and digital banking transactions, the FIA should provide technical assistance to help trace the accused’s network.
The letter also recommends that the FIA initiate a formal inquiry and appoint expert officers for the investigation.
According to the letter, three cases are currently registered against Anmol alias Pinky at Karachi’s Garden and Baghdadi police stations.
The cases registered against the accused include serious charges under the Narcotics Act, illegal possession of weapons, and attempted murder. Investigations are currently underway at a rapid pace.
