Accountant Arrested in ‘Pinky’ Drug Case; Financial Network Uncovered

LAHORE — Investigators in the high-profile ‘Pinky’ drug case have identified the primary suspect’s husband, Nasir Ali, as a key accomplice in their online narcotics enterprise. According to police sources, Ali, a resident of Wazirabad, Gujranwala, jointly operated the drug business with his wife, Anmol, also known as ‘Pinky’. The couple reportedly lived in various areas of Lahore before Ali fled the country some time ago.

This development follows the emergence of documents belonging to Anmol. Her passport was issued in Karachi on April 17, 2018, and expired in April 2023. Her National Identity Card, listing an address on Abul Hasan Isphahani Road in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, was also issued from the city in December 2016. Authorities are also investigating an alleged attempt by Anmol to acquire a second identity card under a different name.

A recent breakthrough in the case was the arrest of an accountant linked to the network, which exposed a significant financial trail. Investigators have uncovered at least six bank accounts used for transactions totaling millions of rupees. The probe has now expanded to include the possibility of benami accounts being used to launder the proceeds of the drug sales.

As the investigation deepens, a fifth case has been registered in Lahore in connection with the operation, linked to a drug seizure that occurred in 2018. In a strategic move, police have decided that individuals who purchased drugs from the network will be treated as witnesses to strengthen the case against the main suppliers. Authorities continue to use technological resources to map out and trace the full network of dealers and buyers.
