Police Detail Financial Trail in ‘Cocaine Queen’ Case; Court Waives Appearance
KARACHI – Investigators have submitted details of bank accounts and digital financial transactions allegedly linked to facilitators of suspected drug dealer Anmol, alias Pinky, a local court was informed.
Meanwhile, a Karachi court has directed that the accused does not need to appear in person for hearings at the current stage of proceedings due to security risks. The order came after the superintendent of the Central Prison for Women filed an application requesting Anmol appear via video link, citing that her physical movement from the prison to the court posed a “significant security risk” to the public, law enforcement, and herself.
A police report submitted to the court identified two suspected facilitators, Zeeshan-ur-Rehman and Sohail-ur-Rehman, who allegedly operated multiple bank accounts and digital wallets. Investigators claim these accounts were used to handle proceeds worth millions of rupees generated from the sale of narcotics in Karachi and other cities. The report added that authorities have also traced individuals who sent money to these accounts.
Anmol was arrested last month in a joint raid by police and a civilian intelligence agency at her apartment in the Garden area. She was booked in cases pertaining to the possession of narcotics and an unlicensed weapon, in addition to multiple other criminal cases already registered against her. The case gained widespread attention after a video of her being escorted to court without handcuffs went viral on social media.
