Sindh Inspector General Javed Alam Odho has assured a transparent, multi-agency investigation into alleged drug kingpin Anmol, alias Pinky, stating that probes are expanding across multiple “domains,” including financial crimes and cyberspace. Speaking to the media, the police chief confirmed that federal bodies, including the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), have been formally included to trace the full extent of the criminal enterprise.

The investigation is intensely focused on the financial aspects of the case, with IG Odho acknowledging a bank account containing Rs 30 million and expressing confidence that “many such accounts will be found.” The FIA will specifically handle the money laundering angle, while the NCCIA will investigate the use of cyberspace for narcotics distribution, particularly its outreach to students. Odho noted that, like extortion, the drug trade is increasingly migrating online, necessitating a collaborative approach with specialized agencies and “sensitive federal institutions.”

Addressing the heavy security detail accompanying Anmol to court appearances, the IG explained it was a precaution against potential threats. “The nature of her business is such that there is a risk of many names emerging. One risk is that someone can harm her, so [investigations] do not proceed ahead,” he stated. This comes as Anmol has repeatedly alleged in court that she is being tortured and pressured by police to name politicians, actresses, and other influential figures, claims her lawyer has echoed. A court has ordered a medical examination for her following these allegations.

Meanwhile, a Karachi court extended Anmol’s physical remand for another four days in connection with a murder case. She remains in police custody until May 22 in two cases, including one for narcotics and another for an unlicensed weapon, and is on judicial remand until May 30 in 13 other cases. The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has also initiated proceedings to arrest her in a case where she was previously declared an absconder. The IG vowed that police are distinguishing between drug users and major suppliers, promising that the latter, who play a role in “ruining society,” would not be spared.

Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Odho has stated that “many credible names” are connected to the case of alleged drug kingpin Anmol, alias Pinky, and that more figures could be implicated as the investigation into her business dealings progresses. The statement came as a Karachi court extended Pinky’s physical remand for another four days in a murder case.

Speaking at a press conference in Karachi, the IG warned against “glamorizing” the suspect to the extent that a film is made about her, noting that she primarily resided in Lahore. He affirmed that law enforcement, in collaboration with the Sindh government, is working to eradicate the drug trade and will not spare anyone involved. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has also been brought into the case to probe banking matters, with Odho acknowledging that multiple accounts may be involved.

During her recent court appearance, Anmol reiterated claims of being tortured in custody and pressured by authorities to name politicians, actresses, and other influential figures. The court has ordered a medical examination and instructed that any interrogation be conducted in the presence of female police personnel.

Anmol faces numerous cases, including some filed by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) is also seeking her arrest in a separate matter. The IG confirmed that she has been provided with “appropriate security.” Prosecutors are seeking to investigate her network and send narcotics recovered from her for forensic analysis, while her lawyer maintains she is being coerced into making statements.
