KARACHI: An alleged high-profile drug supplier, Anmol alias Pinky, was presented before a court in Karachi without handcuffs, drawing attention over possible preferential treatment during her appearance.
According to reports, the investigating officer escorted the suspect while walking behind her, as she entered the courtroom with apparent confidence. Sources claimed she had expressed belief during custody that she would be released soon.
The suspect was arrested by Karachi police during an intelligence-based operation carried out by Garden Police with support from security agencies.
Officials said she was considered among the country’s most wanted narcotics traffickers, allegedly involved in the production and supply of high-grade cocaine in major cities including Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
During the raid, authorities recovered a mobile drug manufacturing setup along with one kilogram of semi-prepared cocaine, more than 15 capsules, and various chemicals such as ketamine, ephedrine, methamphetamine and lidocaine. A pistol was also seized from the premises.
Investigators further alleged that the suspect was producing premium variants of cocaine, often referred to as “White Coke” and “Golden Coke,” which were reportedly sold at higher prices than standard narcotics in the market. Bottles of homemade red wine were also recovered during the operation.
The case highlights concerns about law enforcement procedures and equal application of rules when handling high-profile suspects.
Public scrutiny may increase over police conduct and judicial processes, especially in cases involving influential or high-profile individuals.
Authorities may face pressure to ensure transparent handling of the case and strict adherence to standard operating procedures in future arrests.
The case underscores ongoing challenges in combating organized drug networks in Pakistan’s major cities and ensuring accountability within enforcement mechanisms.
