A Karachi court has acquitted Anmol alias Pinky in three drug-related cases registered in 2020, 2021 and 2022, citing grounds presented during the proceedings. The cases were heard by the Additional District and Sessions Court (South), where the accused’s lawyer argued that two co-accused, Ali and Fehmida, had already been acquitted in 2024.
The lawyer told the court that Anmol was implicated in the cases based on statements made by the co-accused. He argued that following their acquittal, there was insufficient ground to convict Anmol in the cases. After hearing the arguments, the court acquitted Anmol alias Pinky in all three cases registered at Gizri Police Station.
It may be recalled that Karachi’s Garden Police arrested a woman allegedly involved in drug dealing in May. According to the defence counsel, a drug case was registered against Anmol in 2021, following which she was declared a fugitive. The lawyer argued that Anmol had been nominated in the case solely based on statements made by her co-accused.
The defence further pointed out that two other co-accused, Ali and Fahmida, had already been acquitted by the court in 2024. The counsel maintained that following their acquittal, there was insufficient evidence to convict Anmol. The court subsequently acquitted her in the case. It is worth mentioning here that Anmol alias Pinky was arrested on May 12, 2026, during a joint operation by Karachi Police and a federal intelligence agency in the Garden area of Karachi.
According to police, the operation was conducted on a tip-off, resulting in the recovery of approximately 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, a 9mm pistol, and a chemical allegedly used in the preparation of cocaine from the accused’s possession. Karachi Police said that following her arrest, Anmol Pinky was also formally arrested in several cases that had previously been registered against her.
Officials initially said that 20 cases had been registered against her in Sindh and three in Lahore. However, subsequent investigations and court challans put the total number of cases against her at 21. The variation in the number of cases reported at different stages may be attributed to differences in the timing of case registration, arrests and the filing of challans.
