KARACHI: Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho on Tuesday ordered an inquiry into procedural violations during the court appearance of notorious drug suspect Anmol, also known as “Pinky.”
Police said the suspect was presented in court without handcuffs, prompting senior officials to take immediate notice of the incident.
The Sindh police chief directed the Additional IG Karachi to submit a preliminary report and identify those responsible for the lapse.
According to a statement issued by the Sindh Police Public Relations Office, the investigating officer and other personnel involved were suspended for negligence and ordered to report to Garden Headquarters South.
Odho also ordered the formation of a high-level inquiry committee headed by a senior officer to conduct an impartial investigation.
Police spokesperson Syed Saad Ali said authorities would not tolerate negligence in sensitive cases involving high-profile suspects.
Karachi Police Chief Azad Khan separately ordered an inquiry into why the suspect appeared in court without restraints.
Police said violations of law and standard operating procedures could lead to disciplinary action against the officials involved.
Authorities describe Anmol alias Pinky as a major alleged cocaine supplier who operated an organised narcotics network in Karachi and other major cities.
Police arrested her during an intelligence-based raid in Karachi. Some reports claimed she was originally from Kasur and around 30 years old, though authorities have not independently confirmed those details.
Media reports dubbed her the “cocaine queen” of Karachi because of her alleged links to high-end drug networks and wealthy clients. Investigators said her customer base allegedly included students, party circles and affluent residents in Karachi’s Defence and Clifton areas.
According to police, the network supplied cocaine and synthetic drugs to Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad through online orders and delivery services.
Authorities said they recovered cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, chemicals, weapons and a suspected mobile drug-production setup during the raid.
Investigators alleged the group used social media and online platforms to contact buyers and employed delivery riders, including women, to avoid detection during police checks.
Police said drugs were allegedly concealed in ordinary parcels, including pizza boxes, burger packaging and computer parts shipments.
Authorities further claimed the network used labels such as “Pinky” and “Queen Madam Pinky” to market the drugs among customers.
According to investigators, Anmol allegedly managed procurement and packaging operations while other members handled distribution and deliveries. Police suspect the drugs were transported to Karachi from other parts of the country.
Officials said the suspect had operated in Karachi for several years and was wanted in multiple narcotics and murder cases. They described her as highly skilled at evading law enforcement.
