Karachi Additional Inspector General (AIG) Azad Khan shared details on Friday of probe against alleged queenpin Anmol alias Pinky, saying that investigators had come across information regarding the involvement of foreigners in running the drug network.

Anmol had been arrested earlier this week from her apartment in Karachi in a joint raid conducted by police and a civilian intelligence agency in connection with two cases pertaining to the possession of narcotics and an unlicenced weapon.

On Wednesday, a court in Karachi granted police her three-day physical remand.

The Karachi AIG shared details during a press conference on Friday of the investigation conducted against Anmol thus far, saying that the case could turn out to be a transnational one as investigators had come across information about the involvement of foreigners in the drugs networks allegedly run by the suspect.

“We have come across information that some foreigners from African countries are involved in this network who are in Lahore. They may be six to eight in number.

“Similarly, some Lahore-based women are also involved in this network,” he said.

The official said 20 cases against Anmol had surfaced in Sindh, in which 17 were old cases and three were registered recently. Moreover, three cases against her were also registered in Lahore, he said, adding that further details about the status of those cases had been sought.
