Key Takeaways
- Anmol alias Pinky, known as the alleged drug queenpin, has been acquitted in two narcotics cases.
- The court cited a lack of evidence for the acquittals, releasing her from custody.
- Pinky's brother, Nasir, was also acquitted in one of the cases.
A sessions court in Karachi has acquitted Anmol alias Pinky, a woman known as the alleged drug queenpin, in two narcotics cases. The acquittals came after Pinky filed applications under Section 265-K of the Code of Criminal Procedure, seeking her release.
The first case, registered with the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) in 2018, and the second, registered at the Gizri police station in 2021, were both dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Pinky appeared before the South additional and sessions judge via a video link during the hearing of her applications.
The court's decision to acquit Pinky in these cases follows a similar ruling in August, when a sessions court had acquitted her in three narcotics cases registered at Karachi’s Gizri police station. These cases were related to the possession of drugs and an unlicensed weapon, registered at Karachi’s Garden police station.
Pinky's arrest came to light in May 2026 when she appeared before a Karachi court. The incident gained attention when a video of her being escorted to court without handcuffs went viral on social media. Her brother, Nasir, had already been acquitted in the 2018 case.
The acquittal of Pinky in these cases marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings against her. While she remains under investigation in other cases, the court's decision to release her from custody is a notable outcome for the legal battle.
The acquittals have raised questions about the effectiveness of the legal system in dealing with high-profile cases involving drug trafficking. Pinky's continued presence in the public eye has made her a subject of both admiration and controversy among the public.
